Wrong fuel in a Peugeot 2008 e-Hdi? Petrol in your Diesel Peugeot?

ABOUT

Putting Petrol in a Diesel Peugeot is a regular problem. And exactly what you want to do about it will depend on several factors. In the event that you would like to find out what to do to sort it out then please read on.
Here are the most important variables to think about when deciding whether to get your car drained:

1. Exactly how much Petrol did you put in the Peugeot, taking into account that the fuel capacity of your Peugeot 2008 e-Hdi is probably about 50 litres?
   1. A modest quantity of Petrol, as little as 2.5 litres of Petrol in a Diesel 2008 e-Hdi will typically not be a major problem. Experience has proven to us that quantities less than 2.5 litres (which is approximately 5% of the fuel tank) is usually able to be sufficiently diluted simply by completely filling up the rest of the tank with Diesel.
      It is extremely uncommon to come across a car or truck going through problems because of lower than 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Remember that it is infrequent - certainly not impossible to encounter. There are actually a number of automobiles that will not endure any level of fuel contamination in the slightest.
   2. In between 2.5 and 5 litres of Petrol in the Peugeot (5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 condition. Our experience has shown that as many people get away with this as all those who break down. Whenever you are deciding on whether or not to chance it and just top it up recognise that it is the same thing as wagering everything on black - you will have a 50/50 possibility of it being ok.
   3. Anything in excess of 5 litres of Petrol in a Diesel 2008 e-Hdi should really as soon as possible be drained since your likelihood of getting away with that amount of contamination is undoubtedly lower than one in 50 - genuinely long odds.
2. Put some Petrol in a Diesel Peugeot and drove it: Have you seen any performance difficulties ever since putting the bad fuel in your 2008 e-Hdi? If so, have it emptied regardless of the quantity of Petrol or even the contamination ratio. Continually running a vehicle that is now starting to suffer from the consequences of fuel contamination will definitely end up in more and more damage being caused to your fuel system components.
3. Are you interested in reassurance?
   You should get it emptied. Whatever the contamination percentage, there is invariably a certain level of threat in connection with operating a Diesel engine on Diesel contaminated with the incorrect fuel. Possible implications of driving on the incorrect fuel include things like the engine refusing to start, running unevenly, lack of power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn out or clogged injectors, and the like. These are some of the most common Petrol in Diesel warning signs, and if you detect any of them stop and get it drained asap.
