Bad fuel in a Mercedes CLK 320? Diesel in your Petrol Mercedes?

ABOUT

Filling up with Diesel in a Petrol Mercedes is a regularly occurring error. And exactly what you should do about it depends upon a few factors. In the event that you would like to find out what you have to do about it then continue reading.
These are the most crucial variables to be aware of when making a decision whether or not to get it drained:

1. What amount of Diesel have you put in the Mercedes, considering that the fuel capacity of the Mercedes CLK 320 is usually around 62 litres?
   1. Hardly any Diesel, as little as 3.1 litres of Diesel in a Petrol CLK 320 will typically not really be a big problem. Experience has demonstrated to us that quantities less than 3.1 litres (roughly 5% of the entire fuel tank) is sometimes able to be sufficiently diluted simply by entirely filling the remainder of the tank with Petrol.
      It is rather unusual to encounter a car going through problems due to lower than 5% wrong fuel contamination. Keep in mind it is very uncommon - in no way impossible to encounter. There are actually certain vehicles that won't stand any quantity of fuel contamination at all.
   2. In between 3.1 and 6.2 litres of Diesel in the Mercedes (5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 scenario. Our experience demonstrates that as many drivers get away with this as those who break down. Any time you are deciding upon whether to risk it and simply fill it up bear in mind that it is just like wagering it all on black - you have got a 50/50 chance of it working.
   3. Anything more than 6.2 litres of Diesel in your Petrol CLK 320 should really immediately be drained out because your likelihood of driving with this quantity of contamination is very likely below one in fifty - genuinely long odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Mercedes and drove it: Have you noticed any performance problems as a result of putting the incorrect fuel in your CLK 320? If you have, get it drained regardless of the amount of Diesel or the contamination ratio. Continuing to run driving a car that is already beginning to suffer from the consequences of fuel contamination will probably just lead to progressively more damage being done to the fuel system components.
3. Do you need reassurance?
   Then simply just get it drained. Regardless of the contamination percentage, there is inevitably some degree of threat connected to driving a Petrol engine on fuel contaminated with the wrong fuel. Probable results of driving a vehicle on the wrong fuel include the engine refusing to start, running lumpy, lack of power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn out or bunged injectors, and so on. These are a few of the most typical Diesel in Petrol warning signs, and should you observe any of them stop and get it drained right away.
