Wrong fuel in your Mercedes B220? Diesel in your Petrol Mercedes?

ABOUT

Putting Diesel in a Petrol Mercedes is a regularly occurring problem. And its remedy is based on several things. Assuming you want to know what you need to do about it then keep on reading.
Here are the key factors to keep in mind whenever determining whether or not to have a fuel drain:

1. Exactly how much Diesel did you put into the Mercedes, taking into account that the fuel tank capacity of your Mercedes B220 is in most cases roughly 50 litres?
   1. A modest amount of Diesel, less than 2.5 litres of Diesel in a Petrol B220 will in most cases not be a massive problem. Experience has proven to us that anything under 2.5 litres (approximately 5% of the total fuel tank volume) is generally able to be completely diluted by means of thoroughly filling up the rest of the tank with Petrol.
      It's highly unusual to encounter an automobile having difficulties due to below 5% wrong fuel contamination. Do not forget that it is infrequent - definitely not impossible to find. You can get certain motor vehicles that will not stand any amount of contamination in the slightest.
   2. In between 2.5 and 5 litres of Diesel in the Mercedes (5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 condition. Our expertise has proven that as many motorists get away with this as those who don't. When you are deciding on whether or not to chance it and just top it up bear in mind that it is the same as betting your car on black - you will have a 50/50 chance of it working out.
   3. Anything above 5 litres of Diesel in a Petrol B220 really should right away be drained as your likelihood of succeeding with this level of contamination is more than likely lower than one in fifty - really big odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Mercedes and drove it: Have you spotted any kind of performance troubles since putting the bad fuel in the B220? If you have, get it removed regardless of the quantity of Diesel or even the contamination ratio. Continually running a motor vehicle that is beginning to suffer the consequences of fuel contamination can only end up in more and more damage affecting your fuel system components.
3. Would you like security?
   You should get it drained. Regardless of the contamination ratio, there is invariably some degree of threat associated with driving a Petrol engine on fuel contaminated with Diesel. Probable implications of driving on the wrong fuel can include the motor refusing to start, running unevenly, reduced power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, damaged or blocked injectors, etc. These are some of the most common Diesel in Petrol symptoms, and should you recognise any of them then stop and have it drained right now.
