Nissan Fuel Drain

ABOUT

Putting Diesel in a Petrol Nissan is a very common problem. And its remedy will depend on a few things. If you would like to find out what it is best to do to sort it out then keep reading.
Right here are the most crucial variables to keep in mind whenever deciding whether to get a fuel drain:

  1. What amount of Diesel have you put in the Nissan, keeping in mind that the fuel capacity of the Nissan Cube is in most cases approximately 50 litres?
    1. Hardly any Diesel, something like 2.5 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Cube will quite often not necessarily be a massive problem. Experience has proven to us that quantities under 2.5 litres (which is roughly 5% of the whole fuel tank capacity) is oftentimes able to be adequately diluted by means of wholly topping up the tank with Petrol.
      It's rather unusual to come across a motor vehicle suffering from problems with lower than 5% wrong fuel contamination. Be aware that it's uncommon - definitely not impossible to encounter. You can get a few motor vehicles that don't endure any level of contamination whatsoever.
    2. Between 2.5 and 5 litres of Diesel in the Nissan (from 5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 scenario. Our practical experience has shown that as many drivers get away with it as all those who don't. Whenever you are figuring out whether or not to risk it and basically fill it up recognise that it is very much like gambling all of it on black - you have got a 50/50 chance of it working out.
    3. Anything in excess of 5 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Cube really should immediately be drained as your likelihood of succeeding with that amount of contamination is in all likelihood lower than one in fifty - genuinely long odds.
  2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Nissan and drove it: Have you spotted any kind of performance problems as a result of putting the bad fuel in your Cube? If you have, get it removed no matter the volume of Diesel or even the contamination percentage. Proceeding to drive driving a car that is already beginning to suffer the consequences of wrong fuel contamination can just result in more harm being done to the fuel system.
  3. Do you want reassurance?
    You should get it removed. Regardless of the contamination percentage, there is inevitably a certain level of threat linked with driving a Petrol vehicle on fuel contaminated with Diesel. Probable final outcomes of driving on the incorrect fuel include the engine refusing to start, running lumpy, decrease in power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn or clogged injectors, and so forth. These are some of the most common Diesel in Petrol symptoms, and should you observe any of them stop driving and get it drained right away.

Diesel in Petrol Questions

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.
