ABOUT

Filling up with Diesel in a Petrol Mercedes is a fairly typical error. And its solution is determined by a few factors. If you would like to know what you must do about this then read on.
Listed below are the most crucial variables to be aware of whenever determining whether or not to get it drained:

1. What amount of Diesel did you put into the Mercedes, bearing in mind that the fuel tank capacity of the Mercedes ML 55 AMG is most likely approximately 93 litres?
   1. A small quantity of Diesel, something like 4.65 litres of Diesel in a Petrol ML 55 AMG will in most cases not necessarily be a big problem. Experience has demonstrated to us that anything under 4.65 litres (which is about 5% of the overall fuel tank) is very often able to be adequately diluted through totally topping up the tank with the appropriate fuel.
      It's rather uncommon to find a motor vehicle having problems due to less than 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Keep in mind that it is rare - in no way impossible to find. You will discover a number of automobiles that don't stand any quantity of contamination at all.
   2. In between 4.65 and 9.3 litres of Diesel in the Mercedes (5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 situation. Our practical experience has proven that as many people get away with it as those who don't. When you are trying to decide whether to chance it and just top it up consider that it is much like wagering it all on black - you have got a 50/50 possibility of it working.
   3. Anything over 9.3 litres of Diesel in a Petrol ML 55 AMG ought to immediately be drained seeing that your likelihood of getting away with this level of contamination is almost certainly lower than one in 50 - extremely huge odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Mercedes and drove it: Have you seen any kind of performance concerns after putting the incorrect fuel in the ML 55 AMG? If you have, get it drained no matter the amount of Diesel or even the contamination percentage. Proceeding to drive driving an automobile that is already starting to suffer the effects of fuel contamination will probably typically be responsible for even more damage being caused to the fuel system components.
3. Do you need peace of mind?
   Then simply just get it drained. Regardless of the contamination percentage, there is invariably some extent of danger in connection with driving a Petrol engine on Petrol contaminated with Diesel. Probable consequences of driving on the wrong fuel include the motor not starting, running unevenly, loss of power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn or bunged injectors, and the like. These are several of the most typical Diesel in Petrol signs and symptoms, and if you detect any of them then stop and get it drained right away.
