Mercedes Fuel Drain

ABOUT

Filling up with Diesel in a Petrol Mercedes is a usual error. And its remedy depends upon a number of things. In the event that you want to find out what it is advisable to do to fix it then continue reading.
These are the most crucial variables to think about whenever deciding on whether or not to have a fuel drain:

  1. What amount of Diesel did you put into the Mercedes, taking into account that the fuel capacity of your Mercedes S500 Coupe is in most cases around 100 litres?
    1. Hardly any Diesel, something like 5 litres of Diesel in a Petrol S500 Coupe will usually not really be a major problem. Experience has proven to us that anything under 5 litres (almost 5% of the total fuel tank) is sometimes able to be sufficiently diluted simply by wholly filling the remainder of the tank with the right fuel.
      It is quite unusual to come across a car having difficulties because of lower than 5% wrong fuel contamination. Keep in mind that it is very infrequently found - certainly not impossible to find. There are a few vehicles that don't endure any quantity of fuel contamination at all.
    2. Between 5 and 10 litres of Diesel in the Mercedes (5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 scenario. Our expertise has shown that as many drivers get away with it as all those who break down. Any time you're deciding whether to risk it and just simply top it up consider that it is very much like wagering everything on black - you have a 50/50 chance of it working out.
    3. Anything above 10 litres of Diesel in a Petrol S500 Coupe should really right away be removed seeing that your likelihood of getting away with this quantity of contamination is undoubtedly lower than one in 50 - seriously long odds.
  2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Mercedes and drove it: Have you noted any kind of performance problems ever since putting the incorrect fuel in your S500 Coupe? If so, have it removed no matter the amount of Diesel or even the contamination ratio. Continually driving a motor vehicle that is beginning to suffer from the effect of wrong fuel contamination will just cause more damage being caused to the fuel system parts.
  3. Are you looking for security?
    Simply get it removed. No matter the contamination percentage, there is always a certain level of danger affiliated with driving a Petrol motor on fuel contaminated with Diesel. Probable implications of driving on the incorrect fuel include the engine refusing to start, running lumpy, reduced power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn out or clogged injectors, etc. These are some of the most typical Diesel in Petrol signs and symptoms, and in the event that you detect any of them cease driving and have it removed right away.

I know about petrol in diesel, but what about Super Unleaded?

Answer

Putting Super Unleaded, or Shell V-Power, BP Ultimate Unleaded, etc, will have the exact same effect as putting regular unleaded petrol in your diesel car and will need to be drained out and flushed.

Will getting you to do a fuel drain void my warranty?

Answer

No! The EU Block Exemption Regulations clearly state that "the work can be carried out by as long as that garage uses manufacturer approved parts and correctly follows the manufacturer's service schedule."

Can I top it up with Petrol and add some 2-stroke oil?

This might work on some vehicles in some cases, but in the majority on instances it won't and you risk damaging the Lambda sensors as well as fuel pump and injectors, just as a regular misfuel.
