Wrong fuel in your Citroen Evasion HDi? Petrol in a Diesel Citroen?

ABOUT

Filling Petrol in a Diesel Citroen is a well-known mistake. And its solution depends on a number of factors. In the event that you want to know what to do to sort it out then keep reading.
Here are the most important variables to keep in mind whenever deciding whether to get a fuel drain:

1. What level of Petrol did you put into the Citroen, bearing in mind that the fuel tank capacity of the Citroen Evasion HDi is in most cases around 80 litres?
   1. A tiny quantity of Petrol, less than 4 litres of Petrol in a Diesel Evasion HDi will usually not be a big problem. Experience has demonstrated to us that quantities less than 4 litres (which is close to 5% of the total fuel tank) is often able to be adequately diluted by means of totally topping up the tank with the appropriate fuel.
      It's rather unusual to find a car suffering from issues with below 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Be aware that it is very unusual - certainly not impossible to encounter. There are actually a number of cars that won't stand any degree of fuel contamination at all.
   2. Anywhere between 4 and 8 litres of Petrol in the Citroen (5 to 10%) is a 50/50 scenario. Our working experience has proven that as many people get away with this as all those who don't. Whenever figuring out whether to chance it and simply top it up consider that it is the same as betting everything on black - you've got a 50/50 possibility of it working.
   3. Anything above 8 litres of Petrol in your Diesel Evasion HDi should as soon as possible be removed because your likelihood of succeeding with this amount of contamination is undoubtedly below one in fifty - extremely long odds.
2. Put some Petrol in a Diesel Citroen and drove it: Have you detected any performance issues after putting the wrong fuel in your Evasion HDi? In that case, have it removed no matter the quantity of Petrol or the contamination ratio. Continually driving a vehicle that is currently beginning to suffer the effect of wrong fuel contamination can definitely lead to even more harm being done to the fuel system.
3. Do you need security?
   Simply get it removed. Regardless of contamination percentage, there is inevitably some degree of risk resulting from operating a Diesel motor on Diesel contaminated with the incorrect fuel. Likely final outcomes of driving on the incorrect fuel can include the engine refusing to start, running lumpy, losing power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, damaged or clogged injectors, and the like. These are a few of the most frequently seen Petrol in Diesel warning signs, and if you notice any of them stop and have it drained right away.
