Wrong fuel in your Skoda Superb TSI? Diesel in a Petrol Skoda?

ABOUT

Putting Diesel in a Petrol Skoda is a usual problem. And its solution depends on an assortment of things. In case you would like to know what you must do to fix it then continue reading.
Here are the most important factors to consider whenever choosing whether or not to get a fuel drain:

1. How much Diesel did you put into the Skoda, bearing in mind that the fuel tank capacity of your Skoda Superb TSI is in most cases roughly 60 litres?
   1. A tiny amount of Diesel, less than 3 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Superb TSI will quite often not necessarily be a huge problem. Experience has shown us that quantities less than 3 litres (which is almost 5% of the overall fuel tank) is frequently able to be sufficiently diluted by means of thoroughly filling the tank with Petrol.
      It's relatively unusual to come across a motor vehicle going through issues with lower than 5% wrong fuel contamination. Bear in mind that it is very unusual - definitely not impossible to encounter. You will discover a number of automobiles that won't endure any amount of contamination at all.
   2. Between 3 and 6 litres of Diesel in the Skoda (5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 situation. Our practical experience has shown us that as many people get away with it as all those who don't. When you are trying to decide whether or not to chance it and simply fill it up remember that it is the same thing as gambling your car on black - you will have a 50/50 chance of it working out.
   3. Anything above 6 litres of Diesel in your Petrol Superb TSI should promptly be drained seeing as your likelihood of getting away with that level of contamination is probably less than one in fifty - definitely huge odds.
2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Skoda and drove it: Have you noticed any performance issues after putting the wrong fuel in the Superb TSI? In that case, get it emptied irrespective of the volume of Diesel or even the contamination ratio. Continuing to drive driving a car that is starting to suffer from the effects of wrong fuel contamination will probably only end up in increasing amounts of damage being done to the fuel system parts.
3. Do you want security?
   In that case get it removed. Regardless of contamination percentage, there is invariably a certain level of danger associated with driving a Petrol engine on Petrol contaminated with Diesel. Probable results of driving a vehicle on the wrong fuel normally include the motor refusing to start, running lumpy, losing power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn or clogged injectors, and so forth. These are a few of the most frequently seen Diesel in Petrol symptoms, and should you detect any of them stop and have it drained right now.
