Listed below are the key factors to keep in mind when deciding on whether or not to get a fuel drain:

   1. Hardly any Petrol, less than 3.05 litres of Petrol in a Diesel x-Type Diesel will more often than not not really be a major problem. Experience has demonstrated to us that anything under 3.05 litres (approximately 5% of the fuel tank volume) is frequently able to be adequately diluted through wholly filling up the rest of the tank with Diesel.
      It's relatively unusual to find a motor vehicle suffering from issues because of under 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Keep in mind that it is uncommon - certainly not impossible to encounter. There are actually certain vehicles that will not endure any degree of fuel contamination whatsoever.
   2. In between 3.05 and 6.1 litres of Petrol in the Jaguar (from 5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 condition. Our expertise has shown that as many drivers get away with it as those people who don't. Whenever you are deciding whether or not to risk it and just fill it up consider that it is exactly like wagering it all on black - you have got a 50/50 possibility of it working out.
   3. Anything in excess of 6.1 litres of Petrol in your Diesel x-Type Diesel ought to promptly be drained since your likelihood of getting away with this quantity of contamination is undoubtedly below one in fifty - extremely long odds.
2. Put some Petrol in a Diesel Jaguar and drove it: Have you detected any kind of performance concerns ever since putting the bad fuel in the x-Type Diesel? If that's the case, get it emptied no matter the volume of Petrol or the contamination percentage. Proceeding to drive running a motor vehicle that is beginning to suffer the consequences of fuel contamination will definitely result in more and more damage being caused to your fuel system parts.
3. Do you want assurance?
   Then get it removed. No matter the contamination ratio, there is inevitably some extent of risk in connection with driving a Diesel engine on Diesel contaminated with the incorrect fuel. Possible final outcomes of driving a car on the wrong fuel include things like the engine refusing to start, running unevenly, loss of power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn or clogged injectors, and the like. These are a few of the most common Petrol in Diesel warning signs, and if you observe any of them cease driving and have it drained right away.
