Bad fuel in your Hyundai Santa Fe? Diesel in your Petrol Hyundai?

ABOUT

Filling up with Diesel in a Petrol Hyundai is a fairly typical problem. And its remedy will depend on a few things. If you would like to know what you should do to sort it out then continue reading.
Right here are the most crucial variables to keep in mind whenever deciding on whether or not to get the car drained:

1. Exactly how much Diesel did you put in the Hyundai, keeping in mind that the fuel capacity of the Hyundai Santa Fe is in most cases around 65 litres?
   1. Hardly any Diesel, less than 3.25 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Santa Fe will in most cases not necessarily be a major problem. Experience has proven to us that quantities less than 3.25 litres (which is approximately 5% of the overall fuel tank) is very often capable of being sufficiently diluted simply by thoroughly topping the tank with Petrol.
      It's relatively rare to find a vehicle suffering from difficulties with under 5% wrong fuel contamination. Bear in mind that it's infrequent - certainly not impossible to find. You will discover some vehicles that won't stand any degree of fuel contamination whatsoever.
   2. Anywhere between 3.25 and 6.5 litres of Diesel in the Hyundai (5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 scenario. Our working experience has confirmed that as many motorists get away with it as those people who break down. Any time you are deciding whether or not to risk it and basically fill it up bear in mind that it is the same as betting all of it on black - you've got a 50/50 possibility of it working.
   3. Anything over 6.5 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Santa Fe should really straight away be removed because your likelihood of succeeding with this quantity of contamination is almost certainly lower than one in 50 - definitely big odds.
2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Hyundai and drove it: Have you noticed any performance concerns since putting the wrong fuel in your Santa Fe? If you have, get it emptied no matter the amount of Diesel or the contamination percentage. Still running an automobile that is currently beginning to suffer the consequences of wrong fuel contamination will probably just be responsible for more and more damage being done to the fuel system.
3. Are you looking for security?
   Then get it removed. Whatever the contamination ratio, there is inevitably some extent of danger caused by operating a Petrol motor on fuel contaminated with the incorrect fuel. Probable final outcomes of driving on the wrong fuel normally include the motor refusing to start, running lumpy, loss in power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn out or blocked injectors, etc. These are some of the most typical Diesel in Petrol signs and symptoms, and should you detect any of them then stop driving and get it drained right now.
