1. What amount of Diesel did you put in to the Mercedes, bearing in mind that the fuel capacity of your Mercedes GL 500 is most likely roughly 100 litres?
   1. A small quantity of Diesel, as little as 5 litres of Diesel in a Petrol GL 500 will most of the time not be a huge problem. Experience has shown us that anything less than 5 litres (roughly 5% of the overall fuel tank) is often able to be completely diluted by totally topping up the remainder of the tank with the right fuel.
      It is quite uncommon to find a car or truck having difficulties because of below 5% wrong fuel contamination. Remember that it is very infrequently found - not impossible to find. You will discover a number of cars that won't endure any amount of fuel contamination whatsoever.

Whenever you are deciding upon whether to chance it and basically top it up consider that it is very much like wagering your car on black - you've got a 50/50 chance of it working.
   3. Anything more than 10 litres of Diesel in a Petrol GL 500 must right away be drained as your probability of succeeding with this quantity of contamination is in all likelihood lower than one in 50 - truly long odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Mercedes and drove it: Have you observed any performance concerns as a result of putting the incorrect fuel in your GL 500? In that case, have it emptied irrespective of the volume of Diesel or even the contamination ratio. Continually driving an automobile that is currently starting to suffer from the effect of wrong fuel contamination will probably definitely result in increasing amounts of harm affecting the fuel system.
3. Would you like peace of mind?
   In that case get it drained. Regardless of the contamination percentage, there is invariably a certain level of danger connected with operating a Petrol vehicle on fuel contaminated with the incorrect fuel. Likely implications of driving a vehicle on the incorrect fuel include things like the engine not starting, running lumpy, decrease in power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn out or clogged injectors, and the like. These are several of the commonest Diesel in Petrol signs and symptoms, and should you observe any of them then stop driving and get it drained right away.
