Contaminated fuel in your Renault Fluence? Diesel in a Petrol Renault?

ABOUT

Filling up with Diesel in a Petrol Renault is a well-known mistake to make. And its solution depends on various things. In the event that you want to know what you have to do to fix it then keep reading.
Right here are the most crucial variables to consider when making a decision whether to get the car drained:

1. What amount of Diesel have you put in the Renault, taking into consideration that the fuel tank capacity of the Renault Fluence is probably about 60 litres?
   1. A modest quantity of Diesel, something like 3 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Fluence will most of the time not really be a significant problem. Experience has proven to us that quantities under 3 litres (roughly 5% of the fuel tank) is frequently capable of being sufficiently diluted by entirely filling up the tank with Petrol.
      It is relatively rare to come across a car or truck experiencing difficulties due to under 5% wrong fuel contamination. Be aware that it is very infrequently found - certainly not impossible to find. There are actually some motor vehicles that don't endure any amount of contamination in the slightest.
   2. Between 3 and 6 litres of Diesel in the Renault (from 5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 scenario. Our practical experience has demonstrated that as many people get away with this as those people who break down. When you are figuring out whether or not to chance it and just top it up bear in mind that it is just like wagering all of it on black - you have got a 50/50 chance of it working.
   3. Anything over 6 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Fluence should really as soon as possible be drained as your probability of driving with that level of contamination is almost certainly less than one in fifty - definitely huge odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Renault and drove it: Have you seen any kind of performance difficulties after putting the incorrect fuel in the Fluence? If that's the case, have it emptied regardless of the quantity of Diesel or the contamination ratio. Still driving a motor vehicle that is currently starting to suffer the consequences of fuel contamination will probably just end up in more damage affecting the fuel system parts.
3. Do you want reassurance?
   Then simply just get it emptied. Regardless of the contamination ratio, there is inevitably a certain level of threat associated with driving a Petrol vehicle on Petrol contaminated with Diesel. Likely results of driving a vehicle on the wrong fuel include the engine refusing to start, running unevenly, lack of power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, damaged or blocked injectors, etc. These are several of the most typical Diesel in Petrol symptoms, and should you recognise any of them then cease driving and have it drained asap.
