Bad fuel in your Peugeot 308? Diesel in your Petrol Peugeot?

ABOUT

Putting Diesel in a Petrol Peugeot is a fairly typical problem. And exactly what you need to do about it depends upon several factors. Assuming you want to know what you need to do to sort it out then keep on reading.
Listed below are the main variables to to consider when determining whether to have a fuel drain:

1. Exactly how much Diesel did you put in the Peugeot, considering that the fuel capacity of the Peugeot 308 is probably roughly 60 litres?
   1. Hardly any Diesel, something like 3 litres of Diesel in a Petrol 308 will more often than not not necessarily be a major problem. Experience has proven to us that quantities under 3 litres (which is almost 5% of the entire fuel tank capacity) is oftentimes able to be sufficiently diluted by means of thoroughly filling the tank with the correct fuel.
      It is extremely uncommon to encounter a car experiencing problems with less than 5% wrong fuel contamination. Be aware that it's infrequently found - in no way impossible to encounter. There are some motor vehicles that won't stand any degree of contamination in the slightest.
   2. Between 3 and 6 litres of Diesel in the Peugeot (5 to 10%) is a 50/50 situation. Our expertise has revealed that as many motorists get away with this as those who break down. When you are deciding on whether to risk it and simply top it up remember that it is the same as gambling it all on black - you have got a 50/50 possibility of it working.
   3. Anything in excess of 6 litres of Diesel in your Petrol 308 should promptly be drained out because your likelihood of getting away with this level of contamination is more than likely less than one in fifty - truly big odds.
2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Peugeot and drove it: Have you noted any kind of performance problems since putting the incorrect fuel in your 308? In that case, have it drained no matter the volume of Diesel or the contamination percentage. Continuing to drive driving an automobile that is already beginning to suffer the effects of wrong fuel contamination can only bring about progressively more harm affecting the fuel system components.
3. Do you need reassurance?
   Then get it emptied. Regardless of the contamination ratio, there is inevitably some degree of threat connected with running a Petrol motor on Petrol contaminated with the wrong fuel. Probable outcomes of driving on the wrong fuel can include the motor refusing to start, running unevenly, loss of power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn or blocked injectors, and the like. These are some of the most typical Diesel in Petrol signs and symptoms, and in the event that you observe any of them stop driving and get it drained right away.
