Wrong fuel in your Mercedes A150? Diesel in a Petrol Mercedes?

ABOUT

Filling up with Diesel in a Petrol Mercedes is a well-known mistake to make. And exactly what you want to do about it hinges on several things. Assuming you want to find out what you ought to do about it then keep on reading.
Listed below are the main factors to think about whenever determining whether or not to get a fuel drain:

1. What amount of Diesel have you put in to the Mercedes, keeping in mind that the fuel capacity of the Mercedes A150 is normally around 54 litres?
   1. A modest amount of Diesel, as little as 2.7 litres of Diesel in a Petrol A150 will quite often not be a massive problem. Experience has taught us that an amount less than 2.7 litres (which is close to 5% of the overall fuel tank capacity) is very often able to be sufficiently diluted simply by wholly filling up the tank with the appropriate fuel.
      It's quite unusual to encounter a vehicle going through problems because of lower than 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Keep in mind that it's uncommon - in no way impossible to encounter. There are actually some motor vehicles that won't endure any quantity of fuel contamination at all.
   2. In between 2.7 and 5.4 litres of Diesel in the Mercedes (from 5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 condition. Our expertise has confirmed that as many drivers get away with this as those who break down. Whenever you are deciding upon whether or not to risk it and just simply fill it up bear in mind that it is very much like gambling all of it on black - you have a 50/50 chance of it working out.
   3. Anything over 5.4 litres of Diesel in a Petrol A150 really should straight away be drained because your probability of succeeding with that level of contamination is undoubtedly lower than one in fifty - truly long odds.
2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Mercedes and drove it: Have you noted any performance difficulties as a result of putting the wrong fuel in your A150? If you have, have it removed no matter the volume of Diesel or even the contamination ratio. Proceeding to drive driving a car that is now starting to suffer the effect of fuel contamination can definitely end up in even more damage being caused to your fuel system parts.
3. Would you like reassurance?
   In that case get it emptied. Regardless of the contamination percentage, there is invariably a certain level of threat in connection with operating a Petrol motor on Petrol contaminated with Diesel. Likely results of driving on the wrong fuel include things like the engine not starting, running unevenly, lack of power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn out or bunged injectors, etc. These are a few of the most frequently seen Diesel in Petrol warning signs, and in the event that you observe any of them cease driving and have it removed right now.
