Hyundai Fuel Drain

ABOUT

Filling up with Diesel in a Petrol Hyundai is a usual problem. And its solution depends upon several different things. If perhaps you would like to find out what you must do to sort it out then stay with me.
These are the main variables to to consider whenever choosing whether or not to get a fuel drain:

  1. How much Diesel did you put in the Hyundai, taking into consideration that the fuel tank capacity of your Hyundai Lantra is normally approximately 60 litres?
    1. A small amount of Diesel, something like 3 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Lantra will usually not necessarily be a huge problem. Experience has shown us that quantities less than 3 litres (close to 5% of the total fuel tank capacity) is oftentimes able to be adequately diluted by means of entirely filling the remainder of the tank with the appropriate fuel.
      It's extremely rare to find a car or truck going through problems because of under 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Remember that it is uncommon - in no way impossible to encounter. There are some automobiles that will not endure any amount of fuel contamination at all.
    2. In between 3 and 6 litres of Diesel in the Hyundai (from 5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 situation. Our working experience has shown us that as many people get away with it as all those who break down. Any time you're deciding whether to chance it and simply fill it up recognise that it is exactly like gambling it all on black - you've got a 50/50 chance of it working.
    3. Anything in excess of 6 litres of Diesel in your Petrol Lantra should really promptly be drained because your probability of getting away with that level of contamination is very likely less than one in fifty - genuinely huge odds.
  2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Hyundai and drove it: Have you noted any performance problems since putting the bad fuel in your Lantra? If so, get it emptied regardless of the quantity of Diesel or even the contamination ratio. Proceeding to run driving a motor vehicle that is now beginning to suffer the consequences of wrong fuel contamination will typically lead to more damage being done to your fuel system.
  3. Are you interested in reassurance?
    Then get it emptied. No matter the contamination ratio, there is inevitably some degree of threat associated with operating a Petrol motor on Petrol contaminated with the incorrect fuel. Probable results of driving on the incorrect fuel can include the engine not starting, running lumpy, decrease in power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn out or clogged injectors, etc. These are a few of the commonest Diesel in Petrol symptoms, and in the event that you observe any of them stop driving and get it removed asap.

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.
