Wrong fuel in your BMW 328i? Diesel in a Petrol BMW?

ABOUT

Putting Diesel in a Petrol BMW is a very common mistake to make. And its remedy varies according to various factors. In case you want to know what you should do to fix it then read on.
These are the main factors to take into consideration whenever figuring out whether or not to have a fuel drain:

1. Exactly how much Diesel have you put in to the BMW, bearing in mind that the fuel tank capacity of the BMW 328i is in most cases about 65 litres?
   1. A small quantity of Diesel, something like 3.25 litres of Diesel in a Petrol 328i will in most situations not really be a huge problem. Experience has demonstrated to us that an amount less than 3.25 litres (5% of the entire fuel tank) is oftentimes able to be sufficiently diluted simply by totally topping the remainder of the tank with Petrol.
      It is highly uncommon to encounter a motor vehicle experiencing difficulties because of lower than 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Do not forget that it is very infrequently found - in no way impossible to find. There are actually a few automobiles that don't endure any degree of contamination whatsoever.
   2. Somewhere between 3.25 and 6.5 litres of Diesel in the BMW (5 to 10%) is a 50/50 condition. Our practical experience has shown that as many drivers get away with this as those people who don't. Whenever you are trying to decide whether or not to chance it and just simply fill it up remember that it is the same thing as gambling it all on black - you will have a 50/50 possibility of it working out.
   3. Anything in excess of 6.5 litres of Diesel in your Petrol 328i should really right away be removed as your probability of driving with that level of contamination is undoubtedly below one in fifty - seriously big odds.
2. Put Diesel in a Petrol BMW and drove it: Have you seen any kind of performance issues after putting the bad fuel in the 328i? If so, have it drained no matter the amount of Diesel or the contamination ratio. Continually driving a motor vehicle that is currently beginning to suffer the effects of fuel contamination will probably likely result in increasing amounts of harm affecting the fuel system.
3. Are you looking for security?
   In that case get it emptied. Whatever the contamination ratio, there is inevitably some amount of risk connected to running a Petrol motor on Petrol contaminated with the incorrect fuel. Likely outcomes of driving on the wrong fuel include the motor refusing to start, running lumpy, reduced power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn out or clogged injectors, and the like. These are some of the most common Diesel in Petrol signs and symptoms, and should you detect any of them then cease driving and get it removed as soon as possible.
