Contaminated fuel in a Audi A4 TDI quattro? Petrol in a Diesel Audi?

ABOUT

Filling Petrol in a Diesel Audi is a usual problem. And its remedy will depend on various things. In the event that you would like to find out what to do to sort it out then keep reading.
Listed below are the key factors to be aware of whenever making a decision whether to get a fuel drain:

1. Exactly how much Petrol did you put into the Audi, bearing in mind that the fuel capacity of your Audi A4 TDI quattro is normally about 60 litres?
   1. Hardly any Petrol, something like 3 litres of Petrol in a Diesel A4 TDI quattro will quite often not necessarily be a major problem. Experience has taught us that anything less than 3 litres (which is roughly 5% of the overall fuel tank capacity) is in many instances able to be adequately diluted by wholly topping up the rest of the tank with the appropriate fuel.
      It is relatively rare to come across a motor vehicle experiencing difficulties due to below 5% wrong fuel contamination. Remember that it is very uncommon - definitely not impossible to encounter. There are a number of vehicles that don't stand any amount of contamination in the slightest.
   2. Between 3 and 6 litres of Petrol in the Audi (from 5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 condition. Our expertise has confirmed that as many motorists get away with this as those people who break down. Any time you are figuring out whether or not to risk it and just simply fill it up bear in mind that it is very much like betting your car on black - you will have a 50/50 possibility of it working out.
   3. Anything over 6 litres of Petrol in a Diesel A4 TDI quattro should right away be drained out since your likelihood of succeeding with that amount of contamination is certainly lower than one in 50 - extremely huge odds.
2. Put Petrol in a Diesel Audi and drove it: Have you detected any performance concerns as a result of putting the wrong fuel in the A4 TDI quattro? If that's the case, have it drained irrespective of the amount of Petrol or even the contamination percentage. Continually running an automobile that is now starting to suffer the effects of wrong fuel contamination will likely end up in increasing amounts of damage affecting the fuel system.
3. Would you like security?
   Simply get it drained. Regardless of the contamination percentage, there is invariably a certain level of threat connected to driving a Diesel vehicle on Diesel contaminated with Petrol. Likely consequences of driving on the wrong fuel include things like the engine not starting, running unevenly, loss in power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn out or blocked injectors, and the like. These are some of the most common Petrol in Diesel signs or symptoms, and if you detect any of them then stop driving and get it removed right now.
