Contaminated fuel in your Mercedes S320? Diesel in a Petrol Mercedes?

ABOUT

Putting Diesel in a Petrol Mercedes is a fairly typical mistake. And exactly what you have to do about it is based on several different things. If you want to know what you should do about it then keep reading.
Listed here are the main factors to consider whenever figuring out whether or not to get a fuel drain:

1. What amount of Diesel have you put in the Mercedes, keeping in mind that the fuel capacity of the Mercedes S320 is normally approximately 100 litres?
   1. A small amount of Diesel, as little as 5 litres of Diesel in a Petrol S320 will in most cases not necessarily be a big problem. Experience has shown us that an amount less than 5 litres (close to 5% of the whole fuel tank volume) is generally capable of being completely diluted by means of totally filling up the rest of the tank with the right fuel.
      It's highly uncommon to encounter a motor vehicle having difficulties with below 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Do not forget that it's unusual - definitely not impossible to find. There are a number of motor vehicles that will not endure any amount of contamination whatsoever.
   2. Somewhere between 5 and 10 litres of Diesel in the Mercedes (5 to 10%) is a 50/50 scenario. Our experience demonstrates that as many drivers get away with this as those people who don't. Whenever deciding upon whether or not to chance it and just simply fill it up recognise that it is exactly like wagering all of it on black - you will have a 50/50 chance of it working out.
   3. Anything over 10 litres of Diesel in a Petrol S320 should as soon as possible be drained out seeing as your likelihood of getting away with that quantity of contamination is more than likely less than one in 50 - definitely big odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Mercedes and drove it: Have you seen any kind of performance troubles since putting the incorrect fuel in your S320? If you have, have it drained irrespective of the quantity of Diesel or even the contamination ratio. Continuing to drive running an automobile that is already beginning to suffer from the effect of fuel contamination can typically bring about even more damage affecting your fuel system components.
3. Are you looking for security?
   You should get it drained. Regardless of contamination percentage, there is invariably a certain level of danger connected to operating a Petrol motor on Petrol contaminated with the incorrect fuel. Possible final outcomes of driving a car on the wrong fuel include the motor not starting, running unevenly, lack of power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn or blocked injectors, etc. These are several of the most common Diesel in Petrol symptoms, and if you detect any of them then stop driving and have it removed as soon as possible.
