Incorrect fuel in a Mercedes S500? Diesel in your Petrol Mercedes?

ABOUT

Putting Diesel in a Petrol Mercedes is a well-known mistake to make. And exactly what you want to do about it is based on several different factors. In the event that you want to know what you have to do about it then continue reading.
Listed here are the main factors to take into consideration when making a decision whether to get a fuel drain:

1. What amount of Diesel have you put in the Mercedes, keeping in mind that the fuel tank capacity of your Mercedes S500 is most likely about 100 litres?
   1. Hardly any Diesel, less than 5 litres of Diesel in a Petrol S500 will usually not really be a huge problem. Experience has proven to us that anything less than 5 litres (approximately 5% of the fuel tank capacity) is oftentimes able to be sufficiently diluted simply by thoroughly topping up the tank with the correct fuel.
      It is extremely unusual to come across an automobile suffering from difficulties with less than 5% wrong fuel contamination. Be aware that it is very infrequently found - definitely not impossible to encounter. There are actually a few automobiles that will not endure any quantity of contamination whatsoever.
   2. Between 5 and 10 litres of Diesel in the Mercedes (5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 condition. Our expertise has proven that as many people get away with it as those who don't. Any time you are figuring out whether or not to risk it and just simply fill it up consider that it is exactly like wagering it all on black - you've got a 50/50 possibility of it working out.
   3. Anything in excess of 10 litres of Diesel in your Petrol S500 should really as soon as possible be drained as your probability of getting away with that amount of contamination is probably below one in fifty - really long odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Mercedes and drove it: Have you noted any performance issues after putting the wrong fuel in your S500? If so, have it drained no matter the volume of Diesel or even the contamination percentage. Still running an automobile that is now beginning to suffer from the effects of wrong fuel contamination can just be responsible for increasing amounts of damage affecting your fuel system parts.
3. Do you need reassurance?
   You should get it removed. No matter the contamination ratio, there is invariably some amount of risk resulting from operating a Petrol motor on fuel contaminated with Diesel. Probable final outcomes of driving a vehicle on the wrong fuel can include the engine not starting, running lumpy, reduced power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn out or blocked injectors, and the like. These are some of the most typical Diesel in Petrol symptoms, and in the event that you observe any of them then stop and have it removed asap.
