ABOUT

Filling up with Petrol in a Diesel Suzuki is a well-known mistake to make. And exactly what you want to do about it will depend on several things. Assuming you would like to know what to do to fix it then read on.
Listed below are the most crucial factors to take into consideration whenever making a decision whether to get a fuel drain:

1. Exactly how much Petrol did you put into the Suzuki, taking into consideration that the fuel tank capacity of your Suzuki Vitara 2.0 Turbo Diesel is most likely around 70 litres?
   1. A modest amount of Petrol, less than 3.5 litres of Petrol in a Diesel Vitara 2.0 Turbo Diesel will quite often not really be a massive problem. Experience has taught us that quantities less than 3.5 litres (which is approximately 5% of the fuel tank volume) is frequently able to be sufficiently diluted through totally filling up the tank with Diesel.
      It is pretty unusual to encounter an automobile going through issues because of less than 5% wrong fuel contamination. Do not forget that it is rare - definitely not impossible to find. You will discover a few vehicles that won't stand any amount of contamination whatsoever.
   2. In between 3.5 and 7 litres of Petrol in the Suzuki (from 5 to 10%) is a 50/50 scenario. Our experience has revealed that as many people get away with this as those who break down. When trying to decide whether or not to chance it and just fill it up recognise that it is just like wagering everything on black - you've got a 50/50 possibility of it being ok.
   3. Anything in excess of 7 litres of Petrol in your Diesel Vitara 2.0 Turbo Diesel ought to straight away be drained as your likelihood of getting away with that quantity of contamination is very likely below one in fifty - seriously huge odds.
2. Put Petrol in a Diesel Suzuki and drove it: Have you noticed any kind of performance issues ever since putting the bad fuel in the Vitara 2.0 Turbo Diesel? If so, get it emptied regardless of the quantity of Petrol or even the contamination percentage. Still running a car that is already beginning to suffer the consequences of wrong fuel contamination will likely be responsible for more and more harm being done to the fuel system components.
3. Do you want reassurance?
   Simply get it emptied. Regardless of the contamination ratio, there is inevitably some extent of threat affiliated with driving a Diesel engine on fuel contaminated with the wrong fuel. Likely implications of driving on the wrong fuel include the motor refusing to start, running unevenly, loss of power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn out or clogged injectors, and so on. These are a few of the most frequently seen Petrol in Diesel symptoms, and if you detect any of them stop and get it removed as soon as possible.
