   1. A small quantity of Petrol, as little as 1.75 litres of Petrol in a Diesel i10 CRDi will more often than not not really be a big problem. Experience has taught us that quantities under 1.75 litres (which is 5% of the whole fuel tank capacity) is usually capable of being sufficiently diluted by means of completely topping up the remainder of the tank with the correct fuel.

   3. Anything over 3.5 litres of Petrol in your Diesel i10 CRDi ought to right away be drained out seeing as your likelihood of driving with that quantity of contamination is probably less than one in 50 - definitely huge odds.
2. Put some Petrol in a Diesel Hyundai and drove it: Have you spotted any kind of performance problems as a result of putting the incorrect fuel in your i10 CRDi? If that's the case, get it drained no matter the volume of Petrol or the contamination percentage. Continuing to run running a car that is now beginning to suffer the effect of fuel contamination will likely result in increasing amounts of damage affecting your fuel system components.
3. Are you looking for security?
   You should get it drained. Regardless of contamination percentage, there is always a certain level of danger associated with operating a Diesel motor on fuel contaminated with the wrong fuel.
