Bad fuel in your BMW 640d? Petrol in a Diesel BMW?

ABOUT

Filling up with Petrol in a Diesel BMW is a common mistake. And its remedy depends upon a number of things. In the event that you want to know what you have to do to fix it then keep on reading.
Listed below are the most crucial factors to to consider when deciding whether or not to have a fuel drain:

1. Exactly how much Petrol did you put in the BMW, taking into account that the fuel capacity of the BMW 640d is usually approximately 70 litres?
   1. A tiny quantity of Petrol, less than 3.5 litres of Petrol in a Diesel 640d will in most cases not necessarily be a significant problem. Experience has demonstrated to us that an amount less than 3.5 litres (which is 5% of the total fuel tank volume) is quite often able to be sufficiently diluted by thoroughly filling the tank with the appropriate fuel.
      It's pretty uncommon to encounter an automobile going through difficulties with under 5% wrong fuel contamination. Remember that it is very infrequent - certainly not impossible to encounter. There are actually certain cars that won't endure any amount of fuel contamination at all.
   2. In between 3.5 and 7 litres of Petrol in the BMW (from 5 to 10%) is a 50/50 scenario. Our working experience demonstrates that as many people get away with it as those people who break down. When you are deciding on whether or not to chance it and just top it up consider that it is very much like betting it all on black - you will have a 50/50 chance of it working.
   3. Anything above 7 litres of Petrol in your Diesel 640d really should as soon as possible be drained out as your probability of getting away with this amount of contamination is very likely lower than one in 50 - definitely huge odds.
2. Put some Petrol in a Diesel BMW and drove it: Have you detected any performance problems since putting the bad fuel in the 640d? If so, get it removed no matter the volume of Petrol or the contamination percentage. Continually running a car that is already beginning to suffer from the consequences of wrong fuel contamination will probably definitely be responsible for progressively more harm affecting the fuel system components.
3. Are you looking for assurance?
   Simply get it emptied. Whatever the contamination ratio, there is inevitably some degree of threat linked with operating a Diesel engine on Diesel contaminated with Petrol. Probable consequences of driving a vehicle on the incorrect fuel can include the motor not starting, running lumpy, reduced power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn or clogged injectors, etc. These are several of the most common Petrol in Diesel signs or symptoms, and if you recognise any of them cease driving and have it drained immediately.
