Bad fuel in a Hyundai Elantra CRDi? Petrol in your Diesel Hyundai?

ABOUT

Filling Petrol in a Diesel Hyundai is a common problem. And its remedy is determined by several factors. If perhaps you want to find out what it is best to do about this then keep on reading.
Let us discuss the main factors to to consider when choosing whether to get a fuel drain:

1. What level of Petrol have you put in to the Hyundai, bearing in mind that the fuel capacity of the Hyundai Elantra CRDi is probably around 55 litres?
   1. A small amount of Petrol, something like 2.75 litres of Petrol in a Diesel Elantra CRDi will typically not necessarily be a big problem. Experience has taught us that anything under 2.75 litres (roughly 5% of the entire fuel tank capacity) is often capable of being completely diluted by entirely topping up the rest of the tank with Diesel.
      It's extremely rare to come across an automobile going through issues with lower than 5% wrong fuel contamination. Be aware that it is infrequent - not impossible to find. There are actually certain automobiles that don't stand any quantity of fuel contamination in the slightest.
   2. Between 2.75 and 5.5 litres of Petrol in the Hyundai (from 5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 scenario. Our experience has confirmed that as many motorists get away with this as all those who don't. Whenever deciding whether to chance it and just fill it up bear in mind that it is very much like wagering everything on black - you have a 50/50 possibility of it working.
   3. Anything over 5.5 litres of Petrol in your Diesel Elantra CRDi should as soon as possible be removed because your probability of driving with that level of contamination is almost certainly below one in fifty - seriously long odds.
2. Put some Petrol in a Diesel Hyundai and drove it: Have you seen any performance concerns ever since putting the incorrect fuel in your Elantra CRDi? If that's the case, have it emptied irrespective of the quantity of Petrol or the contamination percentage. Continually driving a car that is currently beginning to suffer from the effect of fuel contamination will probably typically end up in progressively more harm affecting your fuel system parts.
3. Are you interested in security?
   You should get it drained. No matter the contamination percentage, there is inevitably some amount of danger in connection with running a Diesel vehicle on fuel contaminated with the incorrect fuel. Possible implications of driving on the wrong fuel include the motor not starting, running unevenly, loss of power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn or blocked injectors, and the like. These are some of the most common Petrol in Diesel symptoms, and in the event that you recognise any of them then stop and have it removed immediately.
