   1. Hardly any Diesel, less than 4.25 litres of Diesel in a Petrol LS 400 will normally not really be a massive problem. Experience has demonstrated to us that quantities under 4.25 litres (about 5% of the overall fuel tank) is often capable of being adequately diluted by completely topping the remainder of the tank with Petrol.
      It's pretty rare to come across a motor vehicle having problems due to below 5% wrong fuel contamination. Please remember it is unusual - certainly not impossible to encounter. You will discover certain vehicles that won't endure any degree of fuel contamination at all.

When you are trying to decide whether or not to risk it and just simply top it up recognise that it is just like wagering it all on black - you have got a 50/50 chance of it working out.
   3. Anything over 8.5 litres of Diesel in your Petrol LS 400 should right away be removed because your likelihood of succeeding with this quantity of contamination is in all likelihood lower than one in 50 - really huge odds.
2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Lexus and drove it: Have you detected any performance difficulties ever since putting the bad fuel in the LS 400? If that's the case, have it removed regardless of the volume of Diesel or the contamination ratio. Continuing to drive running a vehicle that is currently starting to suffer from the effect of fuel contamination will likely bring about progressively more harm being caused to your fuel system components.
3. Are you looking for reassurance?
   Then get it removed. Regardless of contamination ratio, there is invariably some amount of danger affiliated with driving a Petrol engine on fuel contaminated with the wrong fuel. Probable results of driving a vehicle on the incorrect fuel include the motor refusing to start, running unevenly, lack of power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, damaged or bunged injectors, etc. These are some of the most typical Diesel in Petrol signs and symptoms, and in the event that you detect any of them stop and get it drained right away.
