Incorrect fuel in your Land Rover Freelander TD4? Petrol in your Diesel Land Rover?

ABOUT

Filling Petrol in a Diesel Land Rover is a fairly typical mistake. And its solution hinges on a few things. Assuming you would like to know what you need to do to sort it out then please read on.
Listed here are the key factors to to consider whenever deciding whether or not to get a fuel drain:

1. How much Petrol did you put into the Land Rover, bearing in mind that the fuel tank capacity of your Land Rover Freelander TD4 is most likely around 68 litres?
   1. A small quantity of Petrol, something like 3.4 litres of Petrol in a Diesel Freelander TD4 will in most situations not really be a major problem. Experience has shown us that anything less than 3.4 litres (about 5% of the whole fuel tank) is usually capable of being adequately diluted simply by thoroughly topping the remainder of the tank with Diesel.
      It is very rare to come across a motor vehicle suffering from problems because of lower than 5% wrong fuel contamination. Remember that it's rare - in no way impossible to encounter. You will discover some vehicles that will not endure any amount of contamination whatsoever.
   2. Anywhere between 3.4 and 6.8 litres of Petrol in the Land Rover (5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 situation. Our experience has shown us that as many motorists get away with it as those people who break down. Whenever you are deciding on whether or not to chance it and simply top it up recognise that it is the same thing as wagering all of it on black - you've got a 50/50 possibility of it working.
   3. Anything over 6.8 litres of Petrol in a Diesel Freelander TD4 should really immediately be drained out seeing as your probability of succeeding with that amount of contamination is undoubtedly less than one in fifty - seriously long odds.
2. Put Petrol in a Diesel Land Rover and drove it: Have you noted any performance troubles as a result of putting the bad fuel in your Freelander TD4? In that case, have it drained no matter the amount of Petrol or even the contamination ratio. Still driving a vehicle that is starting to suffer from the consequences of wrong fuel contamination will probably definitely be responsible for more and more damage affecting the fuel system components.
3. Are you interested in peace of mind?
   Simply get it removed. Regardless of the contamination percentage, there is inevitably some degree of danger resulting from running a Diesel vehicle on Diesel contaminated with the incorrect fuel. Probable implications of driving a car on the incorrect fuel include things like the motor refusing to start, running unevenly, decrease in power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn or blocked injectors, and so on. These are several of the most frequently seen Petrol in Diesel signs or symptoms, and should you observe any of them stop and have it removed right now.
