Wrong fuel in your Nissan Note dCi? Petrol in a Diesel Nissan?

ABOUT

Filling up with Petrol in a Diesel Nissan is a usual error. And exactly what you want to do about it varies according to various factors. In the event that you want to know what it is best to do about it then keep reading.
These are the most crucial variables to to consider when determining whether to get it drained:

1. What level of Petrol did you put in to the Nissan, taking into consideration that the fuel tank capacity of your Nissan Note dCi is most likely roughly 46 litres?
   1. A tiny amount of Petrol, something like 2.3 litres of Petrol in a Diesel Note dCi will usually not necessarily be a significant problem. Experience has shown us that anything under 2.3 litres (5% of the entire fuel tank) is in many instances able to be sufficiently diluted simply by totally topping the remainder of the tank with the correct fuel.
      It is relatively uncommon to find a car experiencing issues due to under 5% wrong fuel contamination. Please remember it is very uncommon - certainly not impossible to encounter. You will discover some vehicles that don't endure any degree of fuel contamination in the slightest.
   2. Somewhere between 2.3 and 4.6 litres of Petrol in the Nissan (from 5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 situation. Our experience demonstrates that as many motorists get away with this as those people who break down. When figuring out whether to risk it and simply top it up remember that it is just like betting everything on black - you have a 50/50 chance of it working.
   3. Anything over 4.6 litres of Petrol in a Diesel Note dCi really should as soon as possible be removed seeing as your likelihood of succeeding with that level of contamination is in all likelihood less than one in fifty - extremely huge odds.
2. Put Petrol in a Diesel Nissan and drove it: Have you detected any performance troubles ever since putting the wrong fuel in your Note dCi? In that case, have it emptied irrespective of the amount of Petrol or the contamination ratio. Still driving a motor vehicle that is starting to suffer the effect of wrong fuel contamination will probably just result in more damage affecting the fuel system parts.
3. Would you like security?
   You should get it emptied. Regardless of contamination ratio, there is always some amount of threat caused by driving a Diesel vehicle on fuel contaminated with the incorrect fuel. Possible final outcomes of driving on the incorrect fuel can include the motor not starting, running unevenly, lack of power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn out or clogged injectors, and the like. These are several of the most frequently seen Petrol in Diesel signs and symptoms, and should you observe any of them then stop and have it drained asap.
