Bad fuel in a Citroen C2 Hdi? Petrol in your Diesel Citroen?

ABOUT

Filling Petrol in a Diesel Citroen is a regularly occurring mistake to make. And its remedy depends upon an assortment of factors. In the event that you want to know what you ought to do to sort it out then keep reading.
Listed below are the main factors to take into account when determining whether or not to get it drained:

1. How much Petrol did you put in to the Citroen, keeping in mind that the fuel tank capacity of your Citroen C2 Hdi is in most cases roughly 41 litres?
   1. A modest quantity of Petrol, as little as 2.05 litres of Petrol in a Diesel C2 Hdi will in most cases not necessarily be a big problem. Experience has demonstrated to us that an amount under 2.05 litres (roughly 5% of the overall fuel tank capacity) is very often able to be completely diluted simply by completely filling up the remainder of the tank with the correct fuel.
      It is quite unusual to come across a car experiencing difficulties because of less than 5% wrong fuel contamination. Remember that it is infrequent - certainly not impossible to encounter. There are certain cars that will not endure any amount of fuel contamination whatsoever.
   2. Anywhere between 2.05 and 4.1 litres of Petrol in the Citroen (5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 scenario. Our experience has proven that as many drivers get away with this as those people who break down. Whenever deciding whether to risk it and just fill it up remember that it is the same thing as wagering everything on black - you have a 50/50 possibility of it working.
   3. Anything more than 4.1 litres of Petrol in your Diesel C2 Hdi must right away be drained out as your likelihood of driving with that level of contamination is certainly below one in 50 - seriously big odds.
2. Put some Petrol in a Diesel Citroen and drove it: Have you detected any performance concerns ever since putting the wrong fuel in the C2 Hdi? If you have, get it emptied irrespective of the amount of Petrol or the contamination ratio. Still running a vehicle that is starting to suffer from the effects of fuel contamination will likely bring about more damage affecting your fuel system.
3. Are you looking for peace of mind?
   Then simply just get it emptied. Regardless of the contamination ratio, there is inevitably some amount of threat affiliated with operating a Diesel motor on Diesel contaminated with the wrong fuel. Possible outcomes of driving a car on the wrong fuel include the motor refusing to start, running unevenly, reduced power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn out or clogged injectors, etc. These are some of the most typical Petrol in Diesel warning signs, and should you detect any of them stop and get it removed right away.
