Incorrect fuel in your SsangYong Rexton RE 290? Petrol in your Diesel SsangYong?

ABOUT

Putting Petrol in a Diesel SsangYong is a very common error. And exactly what you need to do about it depends upon several different things. Assuming you would like to know what it is advisable to do to sort it out then keep on reading.
Listed below are the most important factors to take into account whenever determining whether or not to have the car drained:

1. Exactly how much Petrol have you put in to the SsangYong, keeping in mind that the fuel capacity of the SsangYong Rexton RE 290 is probably roughly 80 litres?
   1. Hardly any Petrol, as little as 4 litres of Petrol in a Diesel Rexton RE 290 will generally not be a significant problem. Experience has proven to us that anything under 4 litres (which is almost 5% of the entire fuel tank capacity) is generally able to be sufficiently diluted by wholly topping the remainder of the tank with the appropriate fuel.
      It is very uncommon to encounter a car or truck suffering from difficulties with below 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Remember that it's infrequently found - certainly not impossible to encounter. There are certain cars that will not endure any amount of contamination in the slightest.
   2. Between 4 and 8 litres of Petrol in the SsangYong (from 5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 situation. Our practical experience has revealed that as many motorists get away with it as those people who don't. When you are deciding on whether or not to risk it and basically top it up consider that it is the same as gambling your car on black - you have got a 50/50 chance of it working.
   3. Anything over 8 litres of Petrol in your Diesel Rexton RE 290 must straight away be drained as your probability of getting away with this quantity of contamination is undoubtedly less than one in fifty - really long odds.
2. Put Petrol in a Diesel SsangYong and drove it: Have you noticed any kind of performance concerns after putting the incorrect fuel in your Rexton RE 290? If so, have it emptied regardless of the amount of Petrol or the contamination ratio. Continuing to drive driving an automobile that is already starting to suffer the effects of wrong fuel contamination can likely be responsible for more harm being done to the fuel system parts.
3. Do you need assurance?
   You should get it drained. Whatever the contamination percentage, there is always a certain level of danger affiliated with operating a Diesel vehicle on fuel contaminated with the wrong fuel. Likely results of driving on the incorrect fuel can include the engine refusing to start, running lumpy, decrease in power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, damaged or blocked injectors, and so forth. These are some of the most typical Petrol in Diesel signs or symptoms, and in the event that you detect any of them cease driving and get it removed right away.
