Contaminated fuel in a Nissan Juke? Diesel in a Petrol Nissan?

ABOUT

Putting Diesel in a Petrol Nissan is a usual mistake to make. And its solution depends on a few factors. Assuming you want to find out what you should do about it then continue reading.
Listed here are the most crucial factors to take into account whenever deciding whether to get the car drained:

1. Exactly how much Diesel did you put in to the Nissan, considering that the fuel tank capacity of your Nissan Juke is in most cases around 46 litres?
   1. A small amount of Diesel, as little as 2.3 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Juke will usually not be a huge problem. Experience has demonstrated to us that anything less than 2.3 litres (which is about 5% of the entire fuel tank volume) is frequently capable of being completely diluted by completely filling the rest of the tank with the correct fuel.
      It's rather uncommon to encounter a car having difficulties due to lower than 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Remember that it's infrequently found - certainly not impossible to encounter. There are actually a number of cars that will not endure any level of contamination whatsoever.
   2. In between 2.3 and 4.6 litres of Diesel in the Nissan (from 5 to 10%) is a 50/50 scenario. Our experience has demonstrated that as many motorists get away with this as those who don't. Whenever deciding on whether or not to risk it and simply fill it up remember that it is the same as betting everything on black - you have a 50/50 chance of it working.
   3. Anything in excess of 4.6 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Juke must promptly be drained as your probability of succeeding with this quantity of contamination is undoubtedly less than one in fifty - truly huge odds.
2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Nissan and drove it: Have you spotted any performance problems ever since putting the bad fuel in the Juke? If you have, get it emptied no matter the amount of Diesel or the contamination percentage. Still driving a motor vehicle that is currently beginning to suffer from the effects of wrong fuel contamination can only end up in progressively more damage affecting your fuel system.
3. Would you like reassurance?
   In that case get it emptied. Regardless of contamination ratio, there is always some amount of danger affiliated with running a Petrol vehicle on fuel contaminated with the wrong fuel. Probable implications of driving a vehicle on the incorrect fuel can include the engine refusing to start, running unevenly, loss in power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, damaged or clogged injectors, etc. These are a few of the most frequently seen Diesel in Petrol warning signs, and if you detect any of them stop and get it removed right away.
