Bad fuel in a Porsche Cayenne? Diesel in your Petrol Porsche?

ABOUT

Filling Diesel in a Petrol Porsche is a fairly typical mistake to make. And its remedy is dependent upon various factors. In the event that you want to know what you must do about this then read on.
Right here are the key factors to to consider when choosing whether to get your car drained:

1. What amount of Diesel have you put in the Porsche, taking into account that the fuel capacity of the Porsche Cayenne is in most cases approximately 100 litres?
   1. A tiny amount of Diesel, as little as 5 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Cayenne will in most situations not be a major problem. Experience has taught us that quantities under 5 litres (which is approximately 5% of the whole fuel tank capacity) is in many instances capable of being completely diluted by totally topping up the tank with Petrol.
      It's highly rare to encounter a car suffering from difficulties due to less than 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Keep in mind it is very unusual - certainly not impossible to find. You will discover certain automobiles that will not endure any quantity of contamination whatsoever.
   2. Anywhere between 5 and 10 litres of Diesel in the Porsche (from 5 to 10%) is a 50/50 condition. Our working experience demonstrates that as many people get away with it as all those who don't. Whenever figuring out whether or not to risk it and basically fill it up recognise that it is the same as wagering everything on black - you have got a 50/50 chance of it working out.
   3. Anything above 10 litres of Diesel in your Petrol Cayenne should straightaway be drained seeing as your likelihood of driving with that quantity of contamination is undoubtedly less than one in 50 - definitely long odds.
2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Porsche and drove it: Have you detected any performance problems ever since putting the incorrect fuel in the Cayenne? If that's the case, have it drained irrespective of the amount of Diesel or the contamination percentage. Proceeding to drive driving a motor vehicle that is starting to suffer from the effect of fuel contamination will just be responsible for even more damage affecting the fuel system parts.
3. Do you want assurance?
   Simply get it emptied. Whatever the contamination ratio, there is always some extent of risk linked with operating a Petrol vehicle on Petrol contaminated with Diesel. Possible outcomes of driving on the incorrect fuel normally include the motor not starting, running lumpy, losing power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, damaged or bunged injectors, etc. These are some of the most common Diesel in Petrol signs or symptoms, and should you recognise any of them stop driving and get it removed as soon as possible.
