Bad fuel in a Toyota Corolla Verso D-4D? Petrol in a Diesel Toyota?

ABOUT

Putting Petrol in a Diesel Toyota is a usual mistake to make. And exactly what you want to do about it is based on several different factors. If you want to know what you need to do to sort it out then continue reading.
Here are the key variables to take into consideration whenever choosing whether to get it drained:

1. What amount of Petrol did you put into the Toyota, taking into consideration that the fuel capacity of your Toyota Corolla Verso D-4D is most likely around 55 litres?
   1. A small quantity of Petrol, as little as 2.75 litres of Petrol in a Diesel Corolla Verso D-4D will quite often not really be a major problem. Experience has demonstrated to us that quantities under 2.75 litres (which is about 5% of the total fuel tank volume) is often capable of being adequately diluted simply by entirely topping the rest of the tank with Diesel.
      It's relatively rare to encounter a car having problems with lower than 5% wrong fuel contamination. Remember that it is uncommon - not impossible to find. You will discover a number of vehicles that will not endure any quantity of contamination whatsoever.
   2. Somewhere between 2.75 and 5.5 litres of Petrol in the Toyota (from 5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 scenario. Our experience has shown us that as many motorists get away with it as those who don't. Whenever you are deciding on whether to chance it and just simply top it up recognise that it is the same thing as gambling all of it on black - you have a 50/50 possibility of it working out.
   3. Anything above 5.5 litres of Petrol in your Diesel Corolla Verso D-4D should right away be drained out seeing that your probability of succeeding with this amount of contamination is certainly lower than one in fifty - definitely big odds.
2. Put some Petrol in a Diesel Toyota and drove it: Have you detected any performance problems as a result of putting the bad fuel in the Corolla Verso D-4D? If you have, get it emptied irrespective of the volume of Petrol or the contamination percentage. Proceeding to drive running a vehicle that is currently starting to suffer the consequences of wrong fuel contamination can only cause increasing amounts of damage affecting your fuel system parts.
3. Do you want peace of mind?
   In that case get it drained. No matter the contamination ratio, there is invariably some extent of danger in connection with operating a Diesel motor on Diesel contaminated with the wrong fuel. Probable results of driving a car on the wrong fuel include things like the motor not starting, running lumpy, reduced power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn or blocked injectors, and the like. These are a few of the commonest Petrol in Diesel signs and symptoms, and should you recognise any of them then stop driving and have it removed right now.
