Contaminated fuel in a Peugeot 806? Diesel in your Petrol Peugeot?

ABOUT

Filling up with Diesel in a Petrol Peugeot is a fairly typical problem. And its remedy varies according to various things. In the event that you would like to find out what it is best to do to fix it then keep reading.
Let us discuss the main factors to think about whenever deciding on whether to have your car drained:

1. What amount of Diesel have you put in the Peugeot, considering that the fuel capacity of your Peugeot 806 is most likely around 80 litres?
   1. A modest amount of Diesel, something like 4 litres of Diesel in a Petrol 806 will usually not necessarily be a significant problem. Experience has proven to us that an amount less than 4 litres (roughly 5% of the total fuel tank) is very often capable of being sufficiently diluted simply by thoroughly topping up the rest of the tank with Petrol.
      It's very rare to encounter a car or truck suffering from problems due to less than 5% wrong fuel contamination. Keep in mind it is very uncommon - definitely not impossible to find. There are certain motor vehicles that don't endure any amount of contamination at all.
   2. Between 4 and 8 litres of Diesel in the Peugeot (from 5 to 10%) is a 50/50 condition. Our working experience demonstrates that as many motorists get away with this as those people who don't. When deciding whether or not to chance it and simply fill it up recognise that it is much like wagering all of it on black - you will have a 50/50 possibility of it working.
   3. Anything more than 8 litres of Diesel in your Petrol 806 really should straightaway be drained out since your probability of succeeding with that level of contamination is almost certainly less than one in 50 - definitely big odds.
2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Peugeot and drove it: Have you noticed any performance concerns after putting the wrong fuel in the 806? If you have, get it emptied no matter the volume of Diesel or even the contamination percentage. Still running an automobile that is starting to suffer the effects of wrong fuel contamination will probably typically cause more and more harm being done to the fuel system.
3. Are you interested in reassurance?
   You should get it removed. Regardless of contamination percentage, there is inevitably some extent of risk associated with operating a Petrol vehicle on fuel contaminated with Diesel. Probable implications of driving a vehicle on the wrong fuel can include the engine not starting, running unevenly, loss of power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn out or clogged injectors, and so forth. These are several of the most frequently seen Diesel in Petrol symptoms, and if you observe any of them stop and have it drained right now.
