Incorrect fuel in your Kia ProCeed? Diesel in your Petrol Kia?

ABOUT

Filling Diesel in a Petrol Kia is a usual mistake. And its remedy is based on various factors. In case you would like to know what to do about this then read on.
These are the most important factors to take into consideration when determining whether to have it drained:

1. What amount of Diesel did you put into the Kia, taking into account that the fuel tank capacity of your Kia ProCeed is probably roughly 53 litres?
   1. A small amount of Diesel, something like 2.65 litres of Diesel in a Petrol ProCeed will in most situations not necessarily be a significant problem. Experience has taught us that an amount less than 2.65 litres (about 5% of the whole fuel tank volume) is often able to be completely diluted by entirely filling the rest of the tank with Petrol.
      It's extremely rare to find a car or truck going through problems because of below 5% wrong fuel contamination. Do not forget that it is very rare - not impossible to find. There are a few vehicles that will not endure any degree of contamination at all.
   2. Anywhere between 2.65 and 5.3 litres of Diesel in the Kia (from 5 to 10%) is a 50/50 scenario. Our expertise has confirmed that as many motorists get away with it as those who break down. When you are deciding whether or not to chance it and basically top it up remember that it is much like gambling your car on black - you've got a 50/50 chance of it being ok.
   3. Anything more than 5.3 litres of Diesel in your Petrol ProCeed must promptly be drained since your likelihood of driving with that level of contamination is probably below one in 50 - seriously big odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Kia and drove it: Have you detected any kind of performance troubles after putting the bad fuel in your ProCeed? If so, have it removed irrespective of the amount of Diesel or the contamination percentage. Still running a car that is already starting to suffer from the consequences of fuel contamination will typically result in even more damage being caused to the fuel system.
3. Would you like reassurance?
   Then simply just get it emptied. Whatever the contamination percentage, there is invariably a certain level of risk linked with running a Petrol vehicle on fuel contaminated with the wrong fuel. Likely consequences of driving on the incorrect fuel normally include the engine refusing to start, running lumpy, loss in power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn out or bunged injectors, etc. These are some of the most frequently seen Diesel in Petrol signs or symptoms, and in the event that you detect any of them then stop and get it removed asap.
