Wrong fuel in a Audi A4? Diesel in your Petrol Audi?

ABOUT

Putting Diesel in a Petrol Audi is a common mistake to make. And what you have to do about it depends on several things. In case you want to know what you need to do about this then please read on.
Listed below are the most important factors to be aware of whenever choosing whether or not to get a fuel drain:

1. What level of Diesel did you put in to the Audi, keeping in mind that the fuel tank capacity of your Audi A4 is probably approximately 62 litres?
   1. A small quantity of Diesel, less than 3.1 litres of Diesel in a Petrol A4 will generally not be a big problem. Experience has shown us that quantities less than 3.1 litres (which is close to 5% of the overall fuel tank volume) is oftentimes capable of being sufficiently diluted through thoroughly topping the tank with the correct fuel.
      It's quite unusual to encounter a car or truck going through problems with below 5% wrong fuel contamination. Please remember it is very unusual - not impossible to encounter. You will discover a number of cars that will not endure any amount of fuel contamination whatsoever.
   2. Somewhere between 3.1 and 6.2 litres of Diesel in the Audi (from 5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 scenario. Our practical experience has demonstrated that as many people get away with this as those people who break down. Any time you're deciding upon whether to risk it and just fill it up recognise that it is just like gambling your car on black - you've got a 50/50 chance of it working.
   3. Anything in excess of 6.2 litres of Diesel in a Petrol A4 really should promptly be removed seeing that your likelihood of getting away with this level of contamination is certainly lower than one in fifty - genuinely big odds.
2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Audi and drove it: Have you observed any kind of performance concerns after putting the incorrect fuel in your A4? If so, have it drained irrespective of the volume of Diesel or even the contamination ratio. Continuing to run running a vehicle that is now beginning to suffer from the effect of wrong fuel contamination will probably likely cause even more damage affecting the fuel system components.
3. Do you need reassurance?
   In that case get it removed. No matter the contamination percentage, there is always a certain level of risk connected with running a Petrol motor on Petrol contaminated with the incorrect fuel. Probable outcomes of driving on the wrong fuel normally include the engine refusing to start, running unevenly, decrease in power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, damaged or clogged injectors, etc. These are a few of the most common Diesel in Petrol symptoms, and if you observe any of them stop driving and get it drained as soon as possible.
