Contaminated fuel in a Mercedes C320 CDI? Petrol in a Diesel Mercedes?

ABOUT

Filling Petrol in a Diesel Mercedes is a common error. And its solution is determined by an assortment of things. Assuming you would like to know what you must do about it then continue reading.
These are the most crucial factors to be aware of when deciding on whether to have a fuel drain:

1. How much Petrol have you put into the Mercedes, taking into account that the fuel capacity of the Mercedes C320 CDI is normally approximately 62 litres?
   1. Hardly any Petrol, less than 3.1 litres of Petrol in a Diesel C320 CDI will more often than not not be a significant problem. Experience has taught us that anything less than 3.1 litres (almost 5% of the whole fuel tank volume) is oftentimes able to be sufficiently diluted simply by thoroughly filling up the tank with Diesel.
      It's relatively unusual to encounter a motor vehicle experiencing difficulties with lower than 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Be aware that it is very unusual - definitely not impossible to encounter. There are actually a number of motor vehicles that will not endure any degree of fuel contamination in the slightest.
   2. Between 3.1 and 6.2 litres of Petrol in the Mercedes (from 5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 condition. Our working experience has confirmed that as many motorists get away with it as all those who don't. Any time you're trying to decide whether or not to risk it and just top it up remember that it is much like gambling all of it on black - you've got a 50/50 chance of it being ok.
   3. Anything more than 6.2 litres of Petrol in a Diesel C320 CDI really should straightaway be drained out because your probability of succeeding with that amount of contamination is almost certainly lower than one in fifty - truly big odds.
2. Put Petrol in a Diesel Mercedes and drove it: Have you seen any performance concerns ever since putting the bad fuel in your C320 CDI? If so, get it removed irrespective of the volume of Petrol or even the contamination percentage. Continuing to drive running a motor vehicle that is now beginning to suffer the effect of wrong fuel contamination will likely be responsible for more and more harm being done to the fuel system parts.
3. Are you looking for security?
   You should get it removed. Whatever the contamination ratio, there is always some extent of danger resulting from driving a Diesel vehicle on Diesel contaminated with the incorrect fuel. Possible implications of driving on the wrong fuel normally include the engine not starting, running lumpy, reduced power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn or bunged injectors, and the like. These are a few of the most common Petrol in Diesel signs and symptoms, and should you detect any of them then stop and have it drained asap.
