Bad fuel in your BMW 318i? Diesel in a Petrol BMW?

ABOUT

Filling up with Diesel in a Petrol BMW is a regular error. And exactly what you need to do about it is determined by a variety of factors. Assuming you would like to find out what you have to do about it then continue reading.
Here are the main variables to be aware of when choosing whether or not to have your car drained:

1. What level of Diesel have you put in to the BMW, bearing in mind that the fuel tank capacity of your BMW 318i is in most cases about 65 litres?
   1. A tiny amount of Diesel, as little as 3.25 litres of Diesel in a Petrol 318i will quite often not necessarily be a big problem. Experience has proven to us that anything less than 3.25 litres (approximately 5% of the overall fuel tank capacity) is often capable of being completely diluted by means of totally filling up the rest of the tank with Petrol.
      It's extremely rare to come across a car experiencing difficulties due to lower than 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Keep in mind it is infrequent - not impossible to find. There are actually certain cars that will not stand any quantity of contamination whatsoever.
   2. In between 3.25 and 6.5 litres of Diesel in the BMW (5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 condition. Our practical experience has revealed that as many motorists get away with it as all those who don't. Whenever deciding upon whether or not to risk it and simply top it up recognise that it is exactly like wagering all of it on black - you have a 50/50 chance of it being ok.
   3. Anything above 6.5 litres of Diesel in your Petrol 318i must straight away be drained out since your probability of succeeding with this amount of contamination is almost certainly lower than one in 50 - seriously huge odds.
2. Put Diesel in a Petrol BMW and drove it: Have you observed any performance difficulties ever since putting the wrong fuel in your 318i? If that's the case, have it emptied regardless of the amount of Diesel or the contamination ratio. Continuing to run running a motor vehicle that is starting to suffer from the effect of wrong fuel contamination will probably typically lead to increasing amounts of harm affecting the fuel system.
3. Are you interested in security?
   Then get it drained. Regardless of contamination ratio, there is always some degree of risk associated with driving a Petrol motor on Petrol contaminated with the wrong fuel. Possible final outcomes of driving on the wrong fuel can include the engine refusing to start, running unevenly, decrease in power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, damaged or blocked injectors, and so forth. These are a few of the most typical Diesel in Petrol signs and symptoms, and in the event that you observe any of them then stop and have it removed right now.
