Petrol in a Diesel SsangYong Rodius: What the Tank Holds
How much petrol there now is in that mix hinges on the tank, and so its capacity is worth checking straight away if you have put petrol in a diesel SsangYong Rodius. Every version of the SsangYong Rodius we have data for is listed on this page with its tank size, and the same goes for the motors it came with.
No matter what the number is, there's one thing to do after the mistake. Call Petrol in Diesel with the engine left off. We will come to you and empty the car just where it stands.
Each version in turn: SsangYong Rodius fuel tank capacity
The SsangYong Rodius has the same diesel tank on each version we hold figures for, and that tank holds 80 litres.
Does a small quantity of wrong fuel in your SsangYong Rodius matter?
How full your tank was when you refuelled decides the proportion of petrol, since wrong fuel in your SsangYong Rodius blends with whatever diesel was already there. When a couple of litres of petrol are put into a tank sitting close to empty, they make up a much greater part of what the motor would take in. Added to an almost full tank of up to 80 litres, the same quantity is just a minor share of the total.
Drivers commonly ask how much petrol counts as too much. It is more useful to know if the motor has run, because a running motor is what moves the blend out of the tank and through the pump and the fuel injectors.
With a small quantity, a drain is normally all your Rodius needs, and whatever the proportion, having it emptied is the right course.
Diesel Rodius engines and their badges
Before you call, it is worth checking the version name on the badge, as it shows us which motor your Rodius has.
Not knowing which version you own does not need to stop you. Phone anyway, then we will figure it out with you.
What goes on with AdBlue in a diesel SsangYong Rodius
AdBlue changes what the size of the tank means. The fuel pump takes its fuel from the base of the tank, and that is where AdBlue settles, so even a tiny volume gets into the fuel lines. If you have AdBlue in a diesel SsangYong Rodius, your diesel around it doesn't weaken it, because AdBlue is mainly water and doesn't blend with it.
As the water in AdBlue dries out, the urea left over crystallises in your lines and your filter and corrodes the metal next to it, and AdBlue does not combust or give your pump any protection either.
On some diesel vehicles, AdBlue has a separate tank of its own, and its filler commonly sits alongside the diesel one under the same fuel flap. If your Rodius has an AdBlue filler, the diesel pump nozzle is the bigger of the two, and the AdBlue cap is usually blue.
What a fuel drain on your SsangYong Rodius involves
Carried out where the car is sitting, a fuel drain on your SsangYong Rodius empties the entire tank, whatever size it is on your version. Fresh diesel goes in once the contaminated fuel is pumped out and the lines and the filter are flushed, and then your system is primed and your engine fired up.
Parked at home or still at the pumps, your Rodius receives the same job. Once the drain is finished it's running on fresh diesel and you can drive it away.
What AdBlue removal from a diesel SsangYong Rodius involves
Emptying the tank completely is where AdBlue removal from a diesel SsangYong Rodius begins, because AdBlue does not mix in and collects at the base instead. Where the engine has run, the fuel lines and the filter are rinsed through as well, and the fuel filter is changed if necessary.
AdBlue that has got into your diesel tank is the subject here. Turning off or taking out your car's AdBlue system isn't part of it.
How the quote of a fuel drain on the SsangYong Rodius is worked out
Two jobs on the same model can be rather different, so we do not publish a fixed price. How much was put in against the size of the tank, petrol or AdBlue, and the car's location all matter, but whether the Rodius has been driven or just started affects it most.
Phone with those facts and we can explain what this job will involve.
Tank queries about petrol in a diesel SsangYong Rodius
What does the SsangYong Rodius fuel tank capacity amount to?
It takes 80 litres, and each version we hold figures for shares the same tank.
Does a bigger tank make petrol less of an issue?
In a larger tank, petrol makes up a smaller part of the total, yet it has not gone anywhere, and it reaches your pump when the motor runs. A fuel drain removes all of that while your Rodius stays switched off.
Is it wrong fuel in my SsangYong Rodius if it's not diesel?
Anything apart from diesel in the diesel tank, which means petrol of any grade, super unleaded too, or AdBlue meant for its own dedicated tank.
Wherever the SsangYong Rodius is, can you drain the vehicle?
Yes, wherever it is. Parked at home or still at the pumps, your car remains where it is and isn't started, as we travel to it.
