ABOUT

Filling Petrol in a Diesel Kia is a usual error. And exactly what you should do about it is determined by several different factors. If perhaps you would like to know what you need to do about this then continue reading.
Listed below are the most crucial factors to keep in mind whenever making a decision whether or not to have a fuel drain:

1. Exactly how much Petrol did you put into the Kia, keeping in mind that the fuel capacity of the Kia Venga CRDi is probably around 48 litres?
   1. A tiny quantity of Petrol, less than 2.4 litres of Petrol in a Diesel Venga CRDi will quite often not really be a major problem. Experience has taught us that anything under 2.4 litres (which is approximately 5% of the total fuel tank volume) is frequently capable of being completely diluted by means of thoroughly filling the tank with the correct fuel.
      It is rather unusual to find a vehicle experiencing problems due to lower than 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Remember that it's infrequently found - not impossible to find. You can get some cars that will not stand any degree of contamination at all.
   2. In between 2.4 and 4.8 litres of Petrol in the Kia (5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 situation. Our expertise has shown that as many motorists get away with this as those who break down. Whenever figuring out whether or not to risk it and simply top it up consider that it is just like wagering all of it on black - you have a 50/50 possibility of it being ok.
   3. Anything in excess of 4.8 litres of Petrol in a Diesel Venga CRDi ought to right away be drained out since your probability of succeeding with this quantity of contamination is very likely below one in 50 - truly huge odds.
2. Put Petrol in a Diesel Kia and drove it: Have you seen any performance troubles ever since putting the wrong fuel in your Venga CRDi? If that's the case, have it drained irrespective of the quantity of Petrol or the contamination ratio. Continually running an automobile that is currently starting to suffer the effect of wrong fuel contamination can likely lead to progressively more harm affecting the fuel system.
3. Are you looking for security?
   Then get it drained. Regardless of the contamination ratio, there is inevitably a certain level of risk in connection with driving a Diesel motor on fuel contaminated with Petrol. Likely implications of driving on the wrong fuel include things like the engine refusing to start, running lumpy, reduced power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, damaged or blocked injectors, and so forth. These are some of the most frequently seen Petrol in Diesel warning signs, and in the event that you detect any of them stop and get it drained as soon as possible.
