Hyundai Fuel Drain

ABOUT

Filling up with Diesel in a Petrol Hyundai is a well-known mistake. And its remedy is based on various factors. In case you would like to find out what it is best to do to sort it out then continue reading.
Listed here the most important factors to take into account whenever deciding on whether or not to have a fuel drain:

  1. How much Diesel have you put in to the Hyundai, bearing in mind that the fuel capacity of your Hyundai i40 is probably around 70 litres?
    1. A tiny amount of Diesel, something like 3.5 litres of Diesel in a Petrol i40 will in most situations not really be a big problem. Experience has shown us that anything less than 3.5 litres (5% of the overall fuel tank) is frequently able to be completely diluted simply by entirely topping the tank with Petrol.
      It's pretty rare to come across a vehicle going through problems due to under 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Remember that it is very infrequent - certainly not impossible to encounter. There are a number of cars that will not endure any quantity of contamination in the slightest.
    2. Between 3.5 and 7 litres of Diesel in the Hyundai (from 5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 situation. Our expertise has shown that as many people get away with it as all those who don't. When figuring out whether or not to chance it and just top it up bear in mind that it is the same thing as wagering all of it on black - you've got a 50/50 chance of it working out.
    3. Anything more than 7 litres of Diesel in a Petrol i40 must as soon as possible be drained out seeing as your probability of driving with this level of contamination is very likely below one in 50 - extremely huge odds.
  2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Hyundai and drove it: Have you observed any performance issues after putting the incorrect fuel in the i40? In that case, get it removed irrespective of the amount of Diesel or even the contamination percentage. Still driving a car that is now beginning to suffer from the consequences of wrong fuel contamination can just be responsible for more and more harm affecting the fuel system parts.
  3. Are you looking for security?
    In that case get it drained. Regardless of contamination ratio, there is inevitably some amount of threat resulting from driving a Petrol motor on Petrol contaminated with the incorrect fuel. Probable outcomes of driving a vehicle on the incorrect fuel normally include the motor refusing to start, running unevenly, losing power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn or clogged injectors, and the like. These are several of the most common Diesel in Petrol symptoms, and in the event that you observe any of them then stop and have it removed 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.
