Contaminated fuel in a Skoda Citigo? Diesel in a Petrol Skoda?

ABOUT

Putting Diesel in a Petrol Skoda is a fairly typical error. And its remedy depends upon a variety of factors. In case you would like to find out what it is advisable to do about this then stay with me.
Listed here are the key factors to take into account whenever making a decision whether or not to have a fuel drain:

1. What level of Diesel have you put in the Skoda, bearing in mind that the fuel capacity of your Skoda Citigo is usually around 35 litres?
   1. Hardly any Diesel, something like 1.75 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Citigo will normally not necessarily be a huge problem. Experience has shown us that an amount less than 1.75 litres (close to 5% of the fuel tank capacity) is very often capable of being completely diluted by wholly topping up the rest of the tank with the appropriate fuel.
      It is extremely unusual to encounter an automobile having issues because of lower than 5% wrong fuel contamination. Keep in mind it's infrequently found - certainly not impossible to encounter. There are a few motor vehicles that will not endure any degree of contamination in the slightest.
   2. In between 1.75 and 3.5 litres of Diesel in the Skoda (from 5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 scenario. Our expertise has revealed that as many people get away with it as those who break down. Whenever you are deciding whether or not to chance it and just fill it up recognise that it is the same thing as betting everything on black - you will have a 50/50 chance of it working out.
   3. Anything in excess of 3.5 litres of Diesel in your Petrol Citigo must right away be drained as your probability of driving with that level of contamination is more than likely less than one in 50 - definitely long odds.
2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Skoda and drove it: Have you noted any performance issues since putting the wrong fuel in your Citigo? If you have, have it emptied regardless of the volume of Diesel or the contamination ratio. Continuing to drive driving a vehicle that is starting to suffer from the effects of fuel contamination will likely end up in more harm being done to your fuel system parts.
3. Do you want reassurance?
   Simply get it removed. Regardless of the contamination ratio, there is invariably a certain level of threat connected with operating a Petrol motor on Petrol contaminated with Diesel. Probable consequences of driving on the incorrect fuel can include the motor not starting, running unevenly, loss in power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn or clogged injectors, and the like. These are several of the most typical Diesel in Petrol warning signs, and if you notice any of them then stop and have it removed right now.
