Bad fuel in a Toyota Yaris Hybrid? Diesel in your Petrol Toyota?

ABOUT

Filling Diesel in a Petrol Toyota is a common problem. And exactly what you should do about it hinges on several factors. If you want to find out what you ought to do to fix it then please read on.
Here are the main factors to to consider whenever making a decision whether or not to have a fuel drain:

1. What level of Diesel have you put into the Toyota, taking into account that the fuel capacity of your Toyota Yaris Hybrid is in most cases roughly 42 litres?
   1. A small amount of Diesel, something like 2.1 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Yaris Hybrid will usually not necessarily be a massive problem. Experience has demonstrated to us that anything less than 2.1 litres (which is about 5% of the overall fuel tank) is in many instances capable of being completely diluted by means of completely topping up the remainder of the tank with Petrol.
      It's quite uncommon to come across an automobile having problems because of under 5% wrong fuel contamination. Bear in mind that it is uncommon - in no way impossible to encounter. You can get a few motor vehicles that won't endure any quantity of fuel contamination at all.
   2. In between 2.1 and 4.2 litres of Diesel in the Toyota (from 5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 condition. Our experience has shown us that as many people get away with this as all those who don't. Any time you are figuring out whether or not to risk it and simply fill it up consider that it is much like gambling everything on black - you've got a 50/50 chance of it working out.
   3. Anything over 4.2 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Yaris Hybrid should really right away be removed since your probability of succeeding with that amount of contamination is undoubtedly lower than one in 50 - extremely long odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Toyota and drove it: Have you noted any performance problems as a result of putting the wrong fuel in the Yaris Hybrid? If so, have it removed no matter the amount of Diesel or the contamination percentage. Proceeding to run running a car that is already beginning to suffer from the effect of fuel contamination will just bring about progressively more damage being caused to your fuel system.
3. Would you like peace of mind?
   Then get it removed. No matter the contamination percentage, there is always some amount of threat connected to running a Petrol motor on fuel contaminated with the incorrect fuel. Possible consequences of driving on the incorrect fuel normally include the motor refusing to start, running unevenly, reduced power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn out or clogged injectors, etc. These are a few of the most common Diesel in Petrol signs or symptoms, and in the event that you observe any of them cease driving and have it removed right away.
