Incorrect fuel in your Kia Shuma? Diesel in a Petrol Kia?

ABOUT

Filling Diesel in a Petrol Kia is a regular mistake. And exactly what you want to do about it varies according to various things. If perhaps you would like to know what you should do about this then please read on.
These are the key variables to take into account when deciding on whether to have it drained:

1. What level of Diesel did you put in to the Kia, taking into account that the fuel capacity of your Kia Shuma is usually roughly 50 litres?
   1. A small amount of Diesel, as little as 2.5 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Shuma will normally not be a huge problem. Experience has taught us that an amount less than 2.5 litres (which is close to 5% of the entire fuel tank) is frequently able to be completely diluted by totally filling up the remainder of the tank with Petrol.
      It is very unusual to encounter a vehicle experiencing issues due to under 5% wrong fuel contamination. Please remember it's infrequently found - definitely not impossible to encounter. There are actually certain motor vehicles that will not endure any degree of fuel contamination in the slightest.
   2. Between 2.5 and 5 litres of Diesel in the Kia (5 to 10%) is a 50/50 scenario. Our expertise has confirmed that as many motorists get away with it as those people who break down. Whenever trying to decide whether to chance it and simply fill it up bear in mind that it is the same as wagering it all on black - you have got a 50/50 chance of it working out.
   3. Anything in excess of 5 litres of Diesel in your Petrol Shuma really should as soon as possible be removed seeing as your likelihood of succeeding with this level of contamination is very likely below one in fifty - really huge odds.
2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Kia and drove it: Have you detected any kind of performance difficulties ever since putting the wrong fuel in your Shuma? If so, get it drained regardless of the amount of Diesel or even the contamination percentage. Continually driving an automobile that is now beginning to suffer from the effect of wrong fuel contamination will probably likely cause more and more damage being done to the fuel system.
3. Are you interested in reassurance?
   Then get it emptied. No matter the contamination ratio, there is inevitably some degree of threat affiliated with operating a Petrol engine on Petrol contaminated with the wrong fuel. Likely consequences of driving on the wrong fuel normally include the motor not starting, running lumpy, decrease in power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, damaged or clogged injectors, and so on. These are a few of the most typical Diesel in Petrol signs and symptoms, and should you observe any of them stop driving and get it drained right now.
