Chevrolet Fuel Drain

ABOUT

Filling Diesel in a Petrol Chevrolet is a well-known mistake. And its remedy hinges on a few factors. In the event that you would like to find out what you should do to fix it then stay with me.
Listed below are the most crucial factors to be aware of whenever determining whether to get it drained:

  1. How much Diesel have you put in the Chevrolet, taking into consideration that the fuel capacity of your Chevrolet S 10 Pickup is in most cases about 72 litres?
    1. Hardly any Diesel, less than 3.6 litres of Diesel in a Petrol S 10 Pickup will typically not be a significant problem. Experience has proven to us that an amount under 3.6 litres (roughly 5% of the total fuel tank) is in many instances able to be completely diluted by entirely filling up the remainder of the tank with the right fuel.
      It's extremely rare to encounter a car having issues because of below 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Bear in mind that it's rare - not impossible to find. There are certain automobiles that will not stand any amount of fuel contamination whatsoever.
    2. Anywhere between 3.6 and 7.2 litres of Diesel in the Chevrolet (5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 scenario. Our working experience has shown us that as many people get away with this as all those who break down. Any time you are deciding on whether or not to risk it and basically fill it up remember that it is exactly like gambling it all on black - you will have a 50/50 chance of it being ok.
    3. Anything above 7.2 litres of Diesel in a Petrol S 10 Pickup must straightaway be drained out as your likelihood of succeeding with this level of contamination is more than likely below one in fifty - genuinely long odds.
  2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Chevrolet and drove it: Have you seen any performance troubles ever since putting the bad fuel in your S 10 Pickup? If so, have it removed irrespective of the amount of Diesel or the contamination ratio. Continuing to run driving a car that is beginning to suffer from the effects of wrong fuel contamination will probably only be responsible for more harm being caused to the fuel system.
  3. Do you want security?
    In that case get it emptied. No matter the contamination percentage, there is invariably some degree of threat resulting from running a Petrol engine on Petrol contaminated with Diesel. Likely outcomes of driving a vehicle on the wrong fuel can include the engine refusing to start, running unevenly, losing power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn or blocked injectors, and so forth. These are several of the most frequently seen Diesel in Petrol symptoms, and if you detect any of them stop and get it removed immediately.

Diesel in Petrol Questions

When someone has put Diesel in a Petrol car they have a few very common questions. So we have compiled a list of the most Frequently Asked Questions for you

I put Diesel in a Petrol car and drove it. What do I do?

Answer

Turn off the car as soon as possible and call us. Continuing to run a vehicle on the wrong fuel can potentially damage it. We will be able to give you advice and assistance based on your circumstances

Will driving a Petrol car on Diesel cause damage to it?

Answer

It can. However, if the problem is caught and remedied quickly the risks will be minimal. Of the 1,500 vehicles we attend every month, less than 0.5% have suffered and substantial damage requiring parts replacement.

How much Diesel can I get away with in a Petrol car?

Answer

The safe answer is none. However you might be able to get away with a very low contamination ratio. That being said, we always highly recommend draining anything over a 5% contamination ratio asap.

I know about petrol in diesel, but what about Super Unleaded?

Answer

Putting Super Unleaded, or Shell V-Power, BP Ultimate Unleaded, etc, will have the exact same effect as putting regular unleaded petrol in your diesel car and will need to be drained out and flushed.

Will getting you to do a fuel drain void my warranty?

Answer

No! The EU Block Exemption Regulations clearly state that "the work can be carried out by as long as that garage uses manufacturer approved parts and correctly follows the manufacturer's service schedule."

Can I top it up with Petrol and add some 2-stroke oil?

Answer

This might work on some vehicles in some cases, but in the majority on instances it won't and you risk damaging the Lambda sensors as well as fuel pump and injectors, just as a regular misfuel.
