Contaminated fuel in a Audi S6? Diesel in your Petrol Audi?

ABOUT

Putting Diesel in a Petrol Audi is a regularly occurring error. And its solution is based on a few things. Assuming you want to know what you have to do to sort it out then continue reading.
Right here are the most important factors to think about whenever figuring out whether to have it drained:

1. How much Diesel did you put into the Audi, taking into consideration that the fuel tank capacity of your Audi S6 is probably about 80 litres?
   1. A modest amount of Diesel, something like 4 litres of Diesel in a Petrol S6 will generally not necessarily be a major problem. Experience has taught us that quantities under 4 litres (which is approximately 5% of the total fuel tank) is very often capable of being completely diluted by means of wholly topping the rest of the tank with Petrol.
      It is relatively unusual to find an automobile having problems with lower than 5% wrong fuel contamination. Be aware that it is uncommon - certainly not impossible to find. You can get a number of automobiles that will not endure any amount of contamination at all.
   2. Anywhere between 4 and 8 litres of Diesel in the Audi (5 to 10%) is a 50/50 situation. Our expertise demonstrates that as many motorists get away with this as those who don't. Whenever you are deciding whether to chance it and just simply top it up recognise that it is the same thing as wagering it all on black - you will have a 50/50 chance of it working.
   3. Anything above 8 litres of Diesel in your Petrol S6 ought to promptly be drained since your probability of getting away with this level of contamination is more than likely below one in fifty - genuinely long odds.
2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Audi and drove it: Have you observed any performance troubles since putting the incorrect fuel in the S6? If that's the case, have it removed irrespective of the quantity of Diesel or even the contamination ratio. Continually running a car that is currently beginning to suffer the effect of wrong fuel contamination will only end up in more and more harm being caused to the fuel system parts.
3. Do you want assurance?
   Then get it removed. Regardless of the contamination percentage, there is invariably some degree of risk connected with operating a Petrol engine on fuel contaminated with Diesel. Possible results of driving a car on the incorrect fuel include things like the engine not starting, running unevenly, losing power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn or bunged injectors, and the like. These are some of the most typical Diesel in Petrol signs or symptoms, and if you recognise any of them stop and get it drained right away.
