Mercedes Fuel Drain

ABOUT

Putting Diesel in a Petrol Mercedes is a well-known mistake. And its solution will depend on various factors. In case you would like to find out what you have to do to sort it out then stay with me.
These are the key factors to think about when deciding on whether or not to get it drained:

  1. Exactly how much Diesel have you put in to the Mercedes, taking into account that the fuel tank capacity of your Mercedes C32 AMG is most likely roughly 62 litres?
    1. A small amount of Diesel, as little as 3.1 litres of Diesel in a Petrol C32 AMG will most of the time not be a significant problem. Experience has taught us that quantities under 3.1 litres (approximately 5% of the overall fuel tank) is sometimes able to be completely diluted simply by entirely topping the remainder of the tank with the appropriate fuel.
      It's very uncommon to come across a car or truck going through problems with lower than 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Keep in mind that it is very infrequent - certainly not impossible to find. There are certain motor vehicles that will not stand any quantity of contamination at all.
    2. Between 3.1 and 6.2 litres of Diesel in the Mercedes (from 5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 situation. Our practical experience has shown that as many drivers get away with it as those who break down. Any time you are figuring out whether to risk it and just simply fill it up bear in mind that it is much like gambling your car on black - you will have a 50/50 chance of it working out.
    3. Anything above 6.2 litres of Diesel in a Petrol C32 AMG should right away be drained since your likelihood of succeeding with that level of contamination is very likely below one in 50 - extremely huge odds.
  2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Mercedes and drove it: Have you seen any performance troubles since putting the wrong fuel in your C32 AMG? If that's the case, get it removed no matter the volume of Diesel or even the contamination ratio. Continually running a car that is now beginning to suffer from the effect of wrong fuel contamination will only lead to progressively more harm being done to the fuel system components.
  3. Do you want assurance?
    Then get it removed. Regardless of contamination ratio, there is inevitably a certain level of threat associated with running a Petrol motor on Petrol contaminated with Diesel. Likely outcomes of driving a car on the incorrect fuel include the motor not starting, running lumpy, loss in power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn or clogged injectors, and so forth. These are several of the most typical Diesel in Petrol signs or symptoms, and if you recognise any of them stop and have it drained right now.

Diesel in Petrol Questions

When someone has put Diesel in a Petrol car they have a few very common questions. So we have compiled a list of the most Frequently Asked Questions for you

I put Diesel in a Petrol car and drove it. What do I do?

Answer

Turn off the car as soon as possible and call us. Continuing to run a vehicle on the wrong fuel can potentially damage it. We will be able to give you advice and assistance based on your circumstances

Will driving a Petrol car on Diesel cause damage to it?

Answer

It can. However, if the problem is caught and remedied quickly the risks will be minimal. Of the 1,500 vehicles we attend every month, less than 0.5% have suffered and substantial damage requiring parts replacement.

How much Diesel can I get away with in a Petrol car?

Answer

The safe answer is none. However you might be able to get away with a very low contamination ratio. That being said, we always highly recommend draining anything over a 5% contamination ratio asap.

I know about petrol in diesel, but what about Super Unleaded?

Answer

Putting Super Unleaded, or Shell V-Power, BP Ultimate Unleaded, etc, will have the exact same effect as putting regular unleaded petrol in your diesel car and will need to be drained out and flushed.

Will getting you to do a fuel drain void my warranty?

Answer

No! The EU Block Exemption Regulations clearly state that "the work can be carried out by as long as that garage uses manufacturer approved parts and correctly follows the manufacturer's service schedule."

Can I top it up with Petrol and add some 2-stroke oil?

Answer

This might work on some vehicles in some cases, but in the majority on instances it won't and you risk damaging the Lambda sensors as well as fuel pump and injectors, just as a regular misfuel.
