Mercedes Fuel Drain

ABOUT

Filling Diesel in a Petrol Mercedes is a well-known problem. And what you should do about it is determined by various things. If you would like to know what to do about it then keep on reading.
Listed below are the most important factors to think about whenever choosing whether or not to get a fuel drain:

  1. How much Diesel did you put in to the Mercedes, taking into consideration that the fuel tank capacity of your Mercedes S63 AMG is most likely roughly 90 litres?
    1. A tiny quantity of Diesel, less than 4.5 litres of Diesel in a Petrol S63 AMG will in most situations not really be a huge problem. Experience has shown us that anything less than 4.5 litres (which is close to 5% of the total fuel tank volume) is sometimes able to be sufficiently diluted by wholly topping the tank with Petrol.
      It is pretty unusual to find a motor vehicle suffering from problems because of under 5% wrong fuel contamination. Do not forget that it's unusual - in no way impossible to find. You will discover some motor vehicles that won't stand any quantity of fuel contamination at all.
    2. Anywhere between 4.5 and 9 litres of Diesel in the Mercedes (from 5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 condition. Our experience has shown us that as many people get away with it as all those who break down. When figuring out whether to risk it and just simply fill it up remember that it is much like betting everything on black - you will have a 50/50 chance of it being ok.
    3. Anything above 9 litres of Diesel in your Petrol S63 AMG really should straightaway be drained seeing that your likelihood of succeeding with that level of contamination is undoubtedly less than one in 50 - seriously big odds.
  2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Mercedes and drove it: Have you noticed any kind of performance concerns as a result of putting the wrong fuel in the S63 AMG? If you have, get it removed irrespective of the volume of Diesel or the contamination ratio. Still running a motor vehicle that is now beginning to suffer the consequences of wrong fuel contamination can typically end up in increasing amounts of harm being done to your fuel system.
  3. Do you need reassurance?
    In that case get it removed. Whatever the contamination ratio, there is always some amount of threat connected with operating a Petrol vehicle on Petrol contaminated with the wrong fuel. Possible final outcomes of driving a car on the incorrect fuel can include the engine refusing to start, running unevenly, lack of power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn or clogged injectors, etc. These are some of the most typical Diesel in Petrol signs or symptoms, and should you recognise any of them then cease driving and get it drained immediately.

Diesel in Petrol FAQs

When someone has put Diesel in a Petrol car they have a few very common questions. So we have compiled a list of the most Frequently Asked Questions for you

I put Diesel in a Petrol car and drove it. What do I do?

Answer

Turn off the car as soon as possible and call us. Continuing to run a vehicle on the wrong fuel can potentially damage it. We will be able to give you advice and assistance based on your circumstances

Will driving a Petrol car on Diesel cause damage to it?

Answer

It can. However, if the problem is caught and remedied quickly the risks will be minimal. Of the 1,500 vehicles we attend every month, less than 0.5% have suffered and substantial damage requiring parts replacement.

How much Diesel can I get away with in a Petrol car?

Answer

The safe answer is none. However you might be able to get away with a very low contamination ratio. That being said, we always highly recommend draining anything over a 5% contamination ratio asap.

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?

Answer

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.
