Incorrect fuel in a Mercedes GLK 300? Diesel in your Petrol Mercedes?

ABOUT

Putting Diesel in a Petrol Mercedes is a regular error. And what you want to do about it depends upon a variety of things. If perhaps you would like to know what you must do to fix it then read on.
These are the most crucial variables to to consider whenever choosing whether to have your car drained:

1. What level of Diesel did you put in to the Mercedes, considering that the fuel capacity of the Mercedes GLK 300 is most likely about 59 litres?
   1. A modest amount of Diesel, less than 2.95 litres of Diesel in a Petrol GLK 300 will normally not really be a major problem. Experience has proven to us that anything under 2.95 litres (which is close to 5% of the total fuel tank) is sometimes able to be sufficiently diluted by means of wholly topping the rest of the tank with Petrol.
      It is quite unusual to come across a motor vehicle going through difficulties because of less than 5% wrong fuel contamination. Keep in mind that it's infrequently found - not impossible to find. You will discover certain automobiles that don't stand any amount of fuel contamination whatsoever.
   2. Somewhere between 2.95 and 5.9 litres of Diesel in the Mercedes (from 5 to 10%) is a 50/50 situation. Our experience has revealed that as many drivers get away with it as those people who don't. Any time you're deciding whether to chance it and simply fill it up consider that it is much like betting all of it on black - you will have a 50/50 possibility of it working.
   3. Anything over 5.9 litres of Diesel in your Petrol GLK 300 ought to promptly be drained because your probability of succeeding with this level of contamination is almost certainly lower than one in 50 - definitely long odds.
2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Mercedes and drove it: Have you seen any performance difficulties after putting the incorrect fuel in the GLK 300? If you have, get it emptied no matter the volume of Diesel or the contamination percentage. Continuing to run driving a motor vehicle that is now starting to suffer from the effects of wrong fuel contamination will probably typically end up in progressively more harm being caused to your fuel system components.
3. Do you need peace of mind?
   Simply get it removed. Regardless of contamination percentage, there is invariably some amount of threat associated with running a Petrol motor on Petrol contaminated with Diesel. Possible results of driving on the wrong fuel can include the motor not starting, running lumpy, reduced power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn or clogged injectors, and so on. These are some of the most typical Diesel in Petrol symptoms, and in the event that you detect any of them then stop and get it drained right away.
