ABOUT

Filling Petrol in a Diesel Mercedes is a usual mistake to make. And its remedy depends upon a variety of things. In the event that you would like to know what to do to fix it then please read on.

   1. A tiny quantity of Petrol, as little as 3.1 litres of Petrol in a Diesel C270 CDI will most of the time not be a massive problem. Experience has taught us that quantities under 3.1 litres (almost 5% of the entire fuel tank volume) is usually able to be completely diluted by completely topping up the remainder of the tank with Diesel.
      It's relatively uncommon to find an automobile experiencing problems because of under 5% wrong fuel contamination. Keep in mind it's infrequent - certainly not impossible to find. You will discover certain cars that will not stand any amount of fuel contamination whatsoever.
   2. Anywhere between 3.1 and 6.2 litres of Petrol in the Mercedes (from 5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 situation. Our working experience has shown us that as many people get away with this as those people who don't. When figuring out whether or not to chance it and basically fill it up remember that it is exactly like gambling everything on black - you have a 50/50 chance of it being ok.
   3. Anything more than 6.2 litres of Petrol in a Diesel C270 CDI really should immediately be drained because your probability of driving with this level of contamination is more than likely less than one in fifty - really big odds.
2. Put some Petrol in a Diesel Mercedes and drove it: Have you detected any kind of performance issues as a result of putting the bad fuel in your C270 CDI? In that case, have it removed no matter the quantity of Petrol or the contamination ratio. Proceeding to run driving an automobile that is now beginning to suffer the consequences of fuel contamination will just end up in progressively more harm being done to the fuel system.
3. Are you looking for security?
   Then get it removed. Regardless of the contamination percentage, there is always a certain level of threat resulting from operating a Diesel engine on fuel contaminated with Petrol. Probable consequences of driving a vehicle on the wrong fuel normally include the engine refusing to start, running lumpy, lack of power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn out or blocked injectors, and so on.
