Bad fuel in your Volkswagen Jetta TSI? Diesel in your Petrol Volkswagen?

ABOUT

Putting Diesel in a Petrol Volkswagen is a regular mistake to make. And exactly what you have to do about it will depend on several things. If you would like to find out what it is best to do about it then stay with me.
Listed here the most important factors to think about whenever deciding on whether to get it drained:

1. What amount of Diesel did you put into the Volkswagen, bearing in mind that the fuel tank capacity of the Volkswagen Jetta TSI is in most cases about 55 litres?
   1. A modest amount of Diesel, something like 2.75 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Jetta TSI will more often than not not really be a huge problem. Experience has demonstrated to us that an amount less than 2.75 litres (which is approximately 5% of the total fuel tank capacity) is sometimes capable of being adequately diluted by means of totally topping the tank with the appropriate fuel.
      It is very rare to come across a car or truck experiencing difficulties because of under 5% wrong fuel contamination. Bear in mind that it's infrequent - in no way impossible to find. There are actually some vehicles that won't endure any level of fuel contamination whatsoever.
   2. Somewhere between 2.75 and 5.5 litres of Diesel in the Volkswagen (5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 scenario. Our experience has revealed that as many people get away with it as those people who don't. When deciding on whether or not to risk it and just fill it up bear in mind that it is very much like gambling everything on black - you've got a 50/50 chance of it being ok.
   3. Anything above 5.5 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Jetta TSI really should immediately be drained out since your likelihood of driving with this level of contamination is probably less than one in 50 - definitely big odds.
2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Volkswagen and drove it: Have you detected any performance concerns after putting the incorrect fuel in the Jetta TSI? If you have, have it removed no matter the volume of Diesel or even the contamination ratio. Continuing to run running a motor vehicle that is already beginning to suffer from the effects of wrong fuel contamination will typically result in increasing amounts of damage being done to the fuel system components.
3. Are you interested in peace of mind?
   Then get it drained. Regardless of contamination ratio, there is invariably a certain level of risk connected to running a Petrol motor on fuel contaminated with the wrong fuel. Possible final outcomes of driving a car on the incorrect fuel include things like the engine not starting, running lumpy, losing power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn out or bunged injectors, and the like. These are a few of the most typical Diesel in Petrol warning signs, and if you notice any of them then stop driving and have it drained asap.
