Our working experience has proven that as many motorists get away with it as those who break down. Any time you're trying to decide whether to risk it and just simply top it up bear in mind that it is very much like betting everything on black - you have got a 50/50 possibility of it working.
   3. Anything more than 3.2 litres of Petrol in your Diesel iQ D-4D ought to promptly be drained out seeing that your probability of driving with that level of contamination is probably less than one in 50 - genuinely huge odds.
2. Put Petrol in a Diesel Toyota and drove it: Have you spotted any performance troubles ever since putting the wrong fuel in the iQ D-4D? In that case, have it drained regardless of the amount of Petrol or the contamination percentage. Continually driving a car that is currently beginning to suffer the effect of fuel contamination will just cause progressively more damage affecting your fuel system parts.
