Bad fuel in a Lexus IS 250C? Diesel in your Petrol Lexus?

ABOUT

Putting Diesel in a Petrol Lexus is a well-known mistake. And its solution varies according to various things. If you would like to find out what you have to do to sort it out then please read on.
Listed here are the key variables to keep in mind when deciding whether to have your car drained:

1. What level of Diesel have you put into the Lexus, taking into account that the fuel capacity of your Lexus IS 250C is in most cases approximately 65 litres?
   1. A modest amount of Diesel, as little as 3.25 litres of Diesel in a Petrol IS 250C will most of the time not necessarily be a massive problem. Experience has proven to us that quantities under 3.25 litres (almost 5% of the overall fuel tank) is generally capable of being completely diluted simply by completely topping the remainder of the tank with the appropriate fuel.
      It's rather rare to come across a vehicle experiencing issues due to lower than 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Be aware that it is very uncommon - not impossible to find. You will discover some vehicles that don't endure any quantity of contamination whatsoever.
   2. Somewhere between 3.25 and 6.5 litres of Diesel in the Lexus (5 to 10%) is a 50/50 situation. Our experience demonstrates that as many drivers get away with this as all those who don't. Any time you're deciding whether or not to risk it and simply fill it up bear in mind that it is exactly like wagering your car on black - you have a 50/50 chance of it working out.
   3. Anything above 6.5 litres of Diesel in your Petrol IS 250C should really right away be drained out seeing that your probability of driving with this level of contamination is in all likelihood lower than one in 50 - extremely big odds.
2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Lexus and drove it: Have you seen any performance concerns since putting the wrong fuel in the IS 250C? If so, have it emptied regardless of the volume of Diesel or even the contamination ratio. Continuing to run running a vehicle that is now starting to suffer the consequences of fuel contamination will probably typically result in more and more damage being caused to the fuel system components.
3. Are you interested in peace of mind?
   Then get it drained. Regardless of contamination ratio, there is inevitably some extent of danger linked with running a Petrol motor on fuel contaminated with Diesel. Possible final outcomes of driving a vehicle on the wrong fuel include the engine not starting, running lumpy, loss of power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn out or blocked injectors, etc. These are several of the commonest Diesel in Petrol symptoms, and should you notice any of them stop driving and get it removed right away.
