Incorrect fuel in a Peugeot 207? Diesel in a Petrol Peugeot?

ABOUT

Filling Diesel in a Petrol Peugeot is a very common mistake to make. And its solution hinges on a number of factors. If you want to know what to do about this then keep on reading.
Let us discuss the most crucial variables to be aware of when making a decision whether to get your car drained:

1. What amount of Diesel have you put in to the Peugeot, bearing in mind that the fuel tank capacity of the Peugeot 207 is probably approximately 50 litres?
   1. A tiny amount of Diesel, as little as 2.5 litres of Diesel in a Petrol 207 will normally not necessarily be a massive problem. Experience has shown us that quantities under 2.5 litres (which is about 5% of the entire fuel tank) is quite often able to be completely diluted by entirely topping the remainder of the tank with the appropriate fuel.
      It is pretty rare to come across a car or truck having difficulties due to below 5% wrong fuel contamination. Keep in mind it's infrequently found - in no way impossible to encounter. There are a number of automobiles that will not stand any amount of fuel contamination in the slightest.
   2. In between 2.5 and 5 litres of Diesel in the Peugeot (from 5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 situation. Our practical experience has demonstrated that as many people get away with it as those who don't. When you are deciding upon whether or not to chance it and basically top it up bear in mind that it is exactly like betting it all on black - you will have a 50/50 possibility of it working out.
   3. Anything more than 5 litres of Diesel in your Petrol 207 really should straightaway be drained out seeing as your likelihood of driving with that amount of contamination is undoubtedly lower than one in fifty - truly huge odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Peugeot and drove it: Have you seen any kind of performance concerns as a result of putting the incorrect fuel in the 207? If that's the case, get it removed regardless of the volume of Diesel or the contamination percentage. Proceeding to drive driving a car that is currently beginning to suffer the effects of fuel contamination can just end up in progressively more damage affecting your fuel system.
3. Do you need peace of mind?
   Then simply just get it emptied. Regardless of the contamination percentage, there is invariably some amount of danger in connection with running a Petrol motor on Petrol contaminated with the incorrect fuel. Probable outcomes of driving a vehicle on the incorrect fuel can include the motor not starting, running unevenly, reduced power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn or blocked injectors, etc. These are several of the most common Diesel in Petrol symptoms, and should you recognise any of them stop and get it removed as soon as possible.
