Incorrect fuel in your Mercedes CLK 200? Diesel in a Petrol Mercedes?

ABOUT

Filling up with Diesel in a Petrol Mercedes is a well-known mistake. And exactly what you want to do about it hinges on several factors. In case you want to know what you have to do about this then stay with me.
Right here are the most important factors to consider when deciding whether or not to get a fuel drain:

1. Exactly how much Diesel have you put in the Mercedes, considering that the fuel tank capacity of the Mercedes CLK 200 is normally about 62 litres?
   1. A small amount of Diesel, as little as 3.1 litres of Diesel in a Petrol CLK 200 will in most situations not necessarily be a big problem. Experience has demonstrated to us that quantities under 3.1 litres (which is close to 5% of the entire fuel tank capacity) is often able to be completely diluted by entirely topping the tank with the right fuel.
      It's highly rare to find a vehicle having difficulties with under 5% wrong fuel contamination. Do not forget that it's unusual - in no way impossible to find. There are some automobiles that don't endure any degree of contamination at all.
   2. Somewhere between 3.1 and 6.2 litres of Diesel in the Mercedes (5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 scenario. Our working experience has shown us that as many drivers get away with this as those who don't. Whenever you are trying to decide whether or not to risk it and just top it up recognise that it is much like gambling all of it on black - you've got a 50/50 chance of it being ok.
   3. Anything more than 6.2 litres of Diesel in a Petrol CLK 200 must straightaway be removed seeing that your probability of driving with this quantity of contamination is probably lower than one in fifty - definitely huge odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Mercedes and drove it: Have you noted any performance problems as a result of putting the wrong fuel in your CLK 200? If you have, get it drained irrespective of the amount of Diesel or the contamination ratio. Continuing to run driving a vehicle that is already beginning to suffer from the effects of fuel contamination will probably typically result in even more damage affecting your fuel system.
3. Do you want assurance?
   In that case get it drained. No matter the contamination percentage, there is always some amount of danger connected with operating a Petrol motor on Petrol contaminated with the wrong fuel. Probable implications of driving a vehicle on the wrong fuel include the engine refusing to start, running lumpy, loss in power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn or bunged injectors, and the like. These are a few of the commonest Diesel in Petrol signs or symptoms, and should you recognise any of them stop and get it drained right away.
