Incorrect fuel in your Renault Megane? Diesel in your Petrol Renault?

ABOUT

Filling up with Diesel in a Petrol Renault is a usual mistake. And what you need to do about it is dependent upon a few things. In the event that you would like to know what you should do about it then please read on.
Right here are the main variables to consider when determining whether or not to get it drained:

1. What amount of Diesel have you put into the Renault, taking into consideration that the fuel tank capacity of the Renault Megane is usually approximately 60 litres?
   1. A modest quantity of Diesel, as little as 3 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Megane will typically not be a major problem. Experience has demonstrated to us that anything less than 3 litres (about 5% of the whole fuel tank capacity) is oftentimes able to be sufficiently diluted simply by thoroughly topping the tank with the right fuel.
      It is very rare to encounter a motor vehicle going through issues because of below 5% wrong fuel contamination. Remember that it is very infrequent - certainly not impossible to find. There are actually some motor vehicles that will not endure any level of fuel contamination whatsoever.
   2. Anywhere between 3 and 6 litres of Diesel in the Renault (from 5 to 10%) is a 50/50 situation. Our experience has revealed that as many people get away with it as those who break down. Whenever deciding on whether to risk it and just fill it up bear in mind that it is just like gambling all of it on black - you have a 50/50 chance of it working.
   3. Anything above 6 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Megane must right away be removed as your likelihood of driving with this level of contamination is very likely lower than one in fifty - seriously huge odds.
2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Renault and drove it: Have you spotted any performance problems ever since putting the bad fuel in your Megane? If you have, get it drained regardless of the volume of Diesel or the contamination ratio. Still running a car that is now beginning to suffer the effect of fuel contamination will probably only lead to more harm affecting the fuel system components.
3. Do you need reassurance?
   You should get it removed. No matter the contamination percentage, there is inevitably some extent of risk associated with driving a Petrol vehicle on fuel contaminated with Diesel. Probable consequences of driving a vehicle on the incorrect fuel include things like the engine refusing to start, running unevenly, losing power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, damaged or clogged injectors, etc. These are some of the most typical Diesel in Petrol signs and symptoms, and in the event that you detect any of them stop driving and get it drained as soon as possible.
