Bad fuel in your Citroen DS3 Hdi? Petrol in your Diesel Citroen?

ABOUT

Filling up with Petrol in a Diesel Citroen is a common problem. And its remedy varies according to several things. If you would like to know what you have to do about it then please read on.
Listed below are the key variables to consider whenever making a decision whether to have a fuel drain:

1. What amount of Petrol have you put in the Citroen, keeping in mind that the fuel capacity of your Citroen DS3 Hdi is normally approximately 45 litres?
   1. Hardly any Petrol, as little as 2.25 litres of Petrol in a Diesel DS3 Hdi will in most cases not necessarily be a big problem. Experience has shown us that an amount less than 2.25 litres (which is 5% of the overall fuel tank volume) is frequently able to be completely diluted simply by entirely topping the remainder of the tank with Diesel.
      It's extremely rare to come across an automobile experiencing problems due to lower than 5% wrong fuel contamination. Please remember it is very infrequent - definitely not impossible to encounter. You will discover some automobiles that will not endure any amount of contamination whatsoever.
   2. Anywhere between 2.25 and 4.5 litres of Petrol in the Citroen (5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 scenario. Our expertise has confirmed that as many drivers get away with this as all those who break down. Whenever you are figuring out whether to chance it and basically top it up remember that it is very much like wagering all of it on black - you will have a 50/50 possibility of it being ok.
   3. Anything in excess of 4.5 litres of Petrol in a Diesel DS3 Hdi should as soon as possible be drained because your probability of succeeding with that quantity of contamination is undoubtedly lower than one in 50 - definitely big odds.
2. Put some Petrol in a Diesel Citroen and drove it: Have you observed any performance issues after putting the wrong fuel in the DS3 Hdi? If that's the case, have it removed regardless of the amount of Petrol or even the contamination ratio. Proceeding to drive driving an automobile that is beginning to suffer from the effect of wrong fuel contamination will probably definitely result in more harm being done to your fuel system components.
3. Do you want assurance?
   In that case get it removed. No matter the contamination ratio, there is always some amount of risk affiliated with driving a Diesel vehicle on Diesel contaminated with the incorrect fuel. Possible consequences of driving on the incorrect fuel include the engine refusing to start, running lumpy, lack of power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn out or blocked injectors, and the like. These are several of the most frequently seen Petrol in Diesel signs and symptoms, and if you observe any of them then stop and have it removed immediately.
