Incorrect fuel in a SsangYong Korando TD? Petrol in a Diesel SsangYong?

ABOUT

Filling up with Petrol in a Diesel SsangYong is a well-known problem. And exactly what you have to do about it varies according to an assortment of factors. If you want to find out what to do to fix it then stay with me.
Let us discuss the most important variables to consider when deciding whether to have your car drained:

1. What amount of Petrol have you put into the SsangYong, keeping in mind that the fuel capacity of the SsangYong Korando TD is in most cases roughly 70 litres?
   1. A modest quantity of Petrol, as little as 3.5 litres of Petrol in a Diesel Korando TD will typically not be a significant problem. Experience has proven to us that quantities less than 3.5 litres (which is roughly 5% of the whole fuel tank capacity) is frequently capable of being sufficiently diluted by means of thoroughly topping the rest of the tank with Diesel.
      It is rather rare to find a car or truck having problems with less than 5% wrong fuel contamination. Please remember it is unusual - definitely not impossible to find. You can get a few motor vehicles that don't stand any quantity of fuel contamination whatsoever.
   2. Anywhere between 3.5 and 7 litres of Petrol in the SsangYong (5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 condition. Our experience has shown us that as many motorists get away with this as those people who break down. Whenever deciding upon whether or not to risk it and simply fill it up bear in mind that it is very much like gambling it all on black - you've got a 50/50 possibility of it working out.
   3. Anything in excess of 7 litres of Petrol in a Diesel Korando TD really should immediately be removed because your probability of getting away with that quantity of contamination is in all likelihood lower than one in 50 - really big odds.
2. Put Petrol in a Diesel SsangYong and drove it: Have you noted any performance problems ever since putting the incorrect fuel in the Korando TD? If so, have it emptied no matter the volume of Petrol or even the contamination percentage. Continually driving a car that is currently starting to suffer from the effects of wrong fuel contamination will probably just lead to more and more damage being caused to your fuel system components.
3. Would you like security?
   Then get it emptied. Regardless of the contamination ratio, there is always some degree of danger connected with running a Diesel motor on fuel contaminated with the incorrect fuel. Likely outcomes of driving a vehicle on the incorrect fuel normally include the motor refusing to start, running lumpy, lack of power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn out or bunged injectors, etc. These are several of the most typical Petrol in Diesel signs or symptoms, and in the event that you detect any of them stop and have it removed right away.
