Tank Sizes and Petrol in a Diesel Peugeot Partner
The size of the fuel tank is among the earliest things worth knowing once you have put petrol in a diesel Peugeot Partner, as the proportion of the fuel that is now petrol hinges on it. The tank size and the engines are set out here for each Peugeot Partner version that we hold data for.
The advice does not vary with the number now that it has happened. As soon as you switch the motor off then phone Petrol in Diesel, we will come to empty the vehicle where it sits.

A few litres of wrong fuel in your Peugeot Partner, and what they mean
How full your tank was when you filled up decides the proportion of petrol, as wrong fuel in your Peugeot Partner mixes with whatever diesel was already there. How much petrol gets to the engine depends a lot on the amount inside your tank. The tank takes up to 60 litres, and in an almost full one a couple of litres stay a minor share of the total, but in a tank sitting near empty the same few litres become a much greater part.
People often wonder how much petrol is too much. The more helpful point to find out is whether the motor has been run, because running it is what takes the blend from your tank and through the pump and your injectors.
With a modest volume, a drain is usually all your Partner needs, and whatever the proportion, having it emptied is the right thing to do.
Diesel Partner engines and their badges
When you phone, it helps to have read the badge first, since the name of the version on it shows us which motor your Partner has.
Across the diesel Partner versions in our figures, the badges read HDi.
All of them share the same motor size, 1.9 litres.
The data additionally cover Estate versions of the Partner.
When you're not certain which version you drive, call anyway and we'll work it out together.
When there's AdBlue in a diesel Peugeot Partner
With AdBlue, tank size works differently. The fuel pump draws its fuel from the bottom of the tank, and that is where AdBlue settles, so even a tiny volume reaches the fuel lines. If you have got AdBlue in a diesel Peugeot Partner, your diesel around it does not weaken it, as AdBlue is mainly water and does not mix with diesel.
As the water in AdBlue evaporates, the urea left behind crystallises in your lines and your filter and attacks the metalwork around it, and AdBlue does not burn or give the pump any protection either.
On some diesel cars, AdBlue has a second tank of its own, and its filler often sits beside the diesel filler under the same fuel flap. On any Partner with an AdBlue filler, a blue cap generally shows it, and that cap accepts a slimmer pump nozzle than the diesel one.
Fuel drain on your Peugeot Partner
A fuel drain on your Peugeot Partner clears the whole tank, whatever its size in your version, and it is carried out where the car is standing. First the tainted fuel is pumped out, then the fuel filter and fuel lines are flushed. After refilling with fresh diesel, we prime the fuel system and start the engine.
Still at the forecourt or sitting on your drive, your Partner can be drained just the same. Fresh diesel is what it runs on once the drain is done, and so you can take it away.
What AdBlue removal from a diesel Peugeot Partner involves
AdBlue removal from a diesel Peugeot Partner starts with emptying the tank completely, because AdBlue settles at the base rather than blending in. An engine that has run means rinsing your filter and lines through as well, plus replacing the fuel filter if needed.
This is about AdBlue that has gone into your diesel tank. It is not removing or turning off the AdBlue system on your car.
How the price of a fuel drain on the Peugeot Partner is set
There is no fixed price published here, because call-outs on one model can vary quite a lot. What affects it most is whether the Partner has been run or driven, and next how much got in relative to the capacity of your tank, whether it was petrol or AdBlue, and where your car is now.
With those details, we can let you know what the job will involve when you phone.
Petrol in a diesel Peugeot Partner: tank questions
What's the fuel tank capacity of the Peugeot Partner?
The same tank is fitted to every version in our data, taking 60 litres.
Does petrol matter less in a larger tank?
The petrol is still there in a larger tank, and still gets to your pump as soon as your engine runs, even though a few litres form less of the whole. With your Partner turned off, a fuel drain clears all of that.
How many versions of the diesel Partner are in your figures?
We hold data for 10 diesel versions of the Partner, and you can spot yours in the table above from the model name on its badge.
Which fuels, other than diesel, would be wrong fuel in my Peugeot Partner?
It means everything put into the diesel tank that's not diesel, so petrol of every grade, even super unleaded, or AdBlue, which has its own separate tank.
Can you drain the Peugeot Partner where it is?
There is no reason to shift or start the vehicle. Whether it's left at home or still at the station forecourt, we come to it.
