Incorrect fuel in your Nissan Almera dCi? Petrol in a Diesel Nissan?

ABOUT

Filling Petrol in a Diesel Nissan is a regularly occurring problem. And its remedy is determined by several different factors. Assuming you want to know what you ought to do to sort it out then stay with me.
Listed below are the key factors to to consider when determining whether to have a fuel drain:

1. What amount of Petrol have you put in to the Nissan, keeping in mind that the fuel capacity of your Nissan Almera dCi is probably about 60 litres?
   1. A tiny amount of Petrol, something like 3 litres of Petrol in a Diesel Almera dCi will in most situations not really be a major problem. Experience has shown us that quantities under 3 litres (about 5% of the fuel tank) is oftentimes able to be adequately diluted by means of totally filling up the rest of the tank with the appropriate fuel.
      It's rather rare to come across a motor vehicle suffering from difficulties with less than 5% wrong fuel contamination. Remember that it's rare - certainly not impossible to find. There are some automobiles that don't stand any level of fuel contamination in the slightest.
   2. In between 3 and 6 litres of Petrol in the Nissan (5 to 10%) is a 50/50 condition. Our working experience has demonstrated that as many drivers get away with it as those people who don't. Any time you are deciding on whether to risk it and basically top it up bear in mind that it is the same thing as betting everything on black - you've got a 50/50 chance of it working.
   3. Anything over 6 litres of Petrol in a Diesel Almera dCi should straight away be removed because your likelihood of getting away with that quantity of contamination is probably less than one in 50 - extremely big odds.
2. Put Petrol in a Diesel Nissan and drove it: Have you seen any performance problems ever since putting the incorrect fuel in the Almera dCi? If that's the case, have it removed regardless of the volume of Petrol or even the contamination percentage. Continually running a car that is now starting to suffer the effects of fuel contamination will probably likely end up in more and more harm being caused to your fuel system.
3. Do you want security?
   You should get it removed. Regardless of the contamination ratio, there is invariably some degree of threat associated with running a Diesel motor on fuel contaminated with the wrong fuel. Possible final outcomes of driving on the wrong fuel normally include the motor refusing to start, running unevenly, loss in power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn or clogged injectors, and the like. These are several of the most frequently seen Petrol in Diesel signs and symptoms, and in the event that you detect any of them stop and get it drained as soon as possible.
