Hyundai Fuel Drain

ABOUT

Putting Diesel in a Petrol Hyundai is a fairly typical error. And what you should do about it hinges on a variety of factors. In case you would like to know what you should do about it then read on.
Let us discuss the main variables to think about when figuring out whether or not to have a fuel drain:

  1. Exactly how much Diesel did you put in the Hyundai, bearing in mind that the fuel tank capacity of the Hyundai Veloster is usually approximately 50 litres?
    1. A tiny amount of Diesel, something like 2.5 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Veloster will more often than not not really be a significant problem. Experience has proven to us that an amount less than 2.5 litres (which is almost 5% of the whole fuel tank) is oftentimes able to be adequately diluted simply by entirely filling up the rest of the tank with Petrol.
      It is rather uncommon to come across an automobile experiencing difficulties due to lower than 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Please remember it is rare - not impossible to find. There are a few cars that don't endure any level of fuel contamination at all.
    2. Anywhere between 2.5 and 5 litres of Diesel in the Hyundai (5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 scenario. Our expertise has shown us that as many people get away with this as all those who break down. Whenever deciding on whether to risk it and basically top it up remember that it is just like wagering everything on black - you have got a 50/50 chance of it working out.
    3. Anything over 5 litres of Diesel in your Petrol Veloster must straightaway be drained seeing as your probability of succeeding with that amount of contamination is almost certainly below one in fifty - seriously huge odds.
  2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Hyundai and drove it: Have you observed any kind of performance concerns as a result of putting the bad fuel in your Veloster? If that's the case, get it emptied no matter the quantity of Diesel or even the contamination percentage. Continually driving a vehicle that is now beginning to suffer the consequences of fuel contamination can definitely bring about more and more harm affecting your fuel system parts.
  3. Are you interested in reassurance?
    Then simply just get it removed. Regardless of the contamination ratio, there is invariably some degree of threat linked with operating a Petrol motor on Petrol contaminated with the incorrect fuel. Possible consequences of driving a car on the wrong fuel include the motor not starting, running lumpy, decrease in power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn out or bunged injectors, and so forth. These are some of the commonest Diesel in Petrol warning signs, and should you notice any of them stop and have it drained right away.

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.
