ABOUT

Filling Diesel in a Petrol Peugeot is a usual error. And its solution will depend on an assortment of factors. In the event that you would like to know what you should do to sort it out then continue reading.
Right here are the most important factors to keep in mind when choosing whether or not to get the car drained:

1. How much Diesel have you put in the Peugeot, keeping in mind that the fuel tank capacity of the Peugeot 206 is most likely approximately 50 litres?
   1. A modest quantity of Diesel, less than 2.5 litres of Diesel in a Petrol 206 will most of the time not necessarily be a big problem. Experience has taught us that quantities less than 2.5 litres (close to 5% of the total fuel tank) is sometimes able to be sufficiently diluted simply by thoroughly topping the remainder of the tank with the correct fuel.
      It's pretty rare to come across a car experiencing difficulties due to less than 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Keep in mind it is unusual - not impossible to find. There are actually a few vehicles that don't stand any degree of fuel contamination in the slightest.
   2. Anywhere between 2.5 and 5 litres of Diesel in the Peugeot (5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 situation. Our working experience has proven that as many people get away with this as all those who don't. When you are deciding whether to risk it and just simply top it up consider that it is exactly like wagering your car on black - you will have a 50/50 possibility of it being ok.
   3. Anything in excess of 5 litres of Diesel in a Petrol 206 ought to as soon as possible be drained since your probability of getting away with that amount of contamination is probably less than one in fifty - really huge odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Peugeot and drove it: Have you spotted any performance difficulties after putting the wrong fuel in the 206? In that case, have it emptied no matter the quantity of Diesel or the contamination percentage. Continually running a motor vehicle that is now starting to suffer from the consequences of fuel contamination can typically result in progressively more harm affecting the fuel system components.
3. Do you need security?
   You should get it removed. No matter the contamination percentage, there is always some extent of risk in connection with driving a Petrol motor on fuel contaminated with the wrong fuel. Possible consequences of driving a car on the incorrect fuel include things like the motor not starting, running lumpy, lack of power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn out or bunged injectors, etc. These are several of the most common Diesel in Petrol signs or symptoms, and if you notice any of them stop driving and get it drained right away.
