Wrong fuel in your Volkswagen Multivan TDI? Petrol in a Diesel Volkswagen?

ABOUT

Filling Petrol in a Diesel Volkswagen is a well-known mistake. And exactly what you want to do about it depends on several different things. Assuming you would like to know what you have to do to sort it out then keep reading.
Listed below are the key variables to take into consideration when deciding whether or not to get it drained:

1. Exactly how much Petrol did you put into the Volkswagen, bearing in mind that the fuel tank capacity of your Volkswagen Multivan TDI is in most cases about 80 litres?
   1. A modest amount of Petrol, less than 4 litres of Petrol in a Diesel Multivan TDI will usually not be a significant problem. Experience has shown us that quantities under 4 litres (which is close to 5% of the entire fuel tank capacity) is sometimes able to be adequately diluted through totally filling the remainder of the tank with Diesel.
      It is very uncommon to come across a motor vehicle going through problems with below 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Keep in mind that it's rare - definitely not impossible to find. There are a few vehicles that won't stand any degree of contamination in the slightest.
   2. Between 4 and 8 litres of Petrol in the Volkswagen (5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 scenario. Our practical experience demonstrates that as many motorists get away with this as all those who break down. Whenever you are deciding on whether to risk it and just simply fill it up recognise that it is just like wagering everything on black - you've got a 50/50 possibility of it working out.
   3. Anything more than 8 litres of Petrol in your Diesel Multivan TDI should as soon as possible be removed seeing as your probability of getting away with that quantity of contamination is undoubtedly less than one in 50 - definitely long odds.
2. Put Petrol in a Diesel Volkswagen and drove it: Have you seen any kind of performance concerns ever since putting the incorrect fuel in your Multivan TDI? If so, have it emptied regardless of the amount of Petrol or even the contamination ratio. Proceeding to run driving a vehicle that is starting to suffer from the effects of fuel contamination can only cause more damage being done to your fuel system.
3. Do you need assurance?
   Then simply just get it drained. Whatever the contamination ratio, there is inevitably some amount of danger resulting from operating a Diesel engine on fuel contaminated with the wrong fuel. Possible results of driving on the wrong fuel include the engine not starting, running unevenly, losing power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn or blocked injectors, and so forth. These are a few of the most common Petrol in Diesel symptoms, and in the event that you observe any of them then stop driving and have it drained right now.
