Wrong fuel in your Volvo V40? Diesel in a Petrol Volvo?

ABOUT

Putting Diesel in a Petrol Volvo is a well-known mistake to make. And its remedy is determined by a few factors. In case you would like to know what you need to do to fix it then stay with me.
Listed here the key factors to think about when figuring out whether to have it drained:

1. What amount of Diesel did you put in the Volvo, bearing in mind that the fuel tank capacity of the Volvo V40 is probably approximately 62 litres?
   1. A modest quantity of Diesel, less than 3.1 litres of Diesel in a Petrol V40 will in most cases not be a massive problem. Experience has taught us that anything under 3.1 litres (approximately 5% of the total fuel tank volume) is in many instances capable of being completely diluted through totally topping the tank with Petrol.
      It's quite uncommon to come across a vehicle having difficulties due to lower than 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Keep in mind it's rare - in no way impossible to encounter. There are actually some vehicles that won't endure any amount of contamination whatsoever.
   2. In between 3.1 and 6.2 litres of Diesel in the Volvo (from 5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 condition. Our experience has revealed that as many drivers get away with this as those people who break down. When you are deciding on whether or not to risk it and simply fill it up remember that it is very much like gambling everything on black - you have got a 50/50 possibility of it being ok.
   3. Anything above 6.2 litres of Diesel in a Petrol V40 should really as soon as possible be drained out seeing as your likelihood of getting away with this quantity of contamination is almost certainly below one in fifty - truly big odds.
2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Volvo and drove it: Have you noticed any kind of performance difficulties after putting the incorrect fuel in your V40? If so, have it drained no matter the quantity of Diesel or the contamination ratio. Still running a car that is already beginning to suffer the consequences of fuel contamination will definitely end up in even more harm being caused to the fuel system.
3. Are you interested in assurance?
   Then simply just get it emptied. Whatever the contamination percentage, there is inevitably some degree of risk caused by running a Petrol engine on Petrol contaminated with Diesel. Probable final outcomes of driving on the wrong fuel include things like the engine not starting, running unevenly, loss in power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, damaged or bunged injectors, and so on. These are some of the most common Diesel in Petrol symptoms, and in the event that you detect any of them then stop driving and get it drained as soon as possible.
