Wrong fuel in a Peugeot 207 CC Hdi? Petrol in a Diesel Peugeot?

ABOUT

Filling Petrol in a Diesel Peugeot is a fairly typical problem. And its remedy hinges on several factors. Assuming you want to find out what to do about this then read on.
Listed below are the key factors to think about when choosing whether to have it drained:

1. Exactly how much Petrol have you put in the Peugeot, bearing in mind that the fuel tank capacity of your Peugeot 207 CC Hdi is normally roughly 50 litres?
   1. A modest amount of Petrol, something like 2.5 litres of Petrol in a Diesel 207 CC Hdi will normally not necessarily be a major problem. Experience has proven to us that quantities less than 2.5 litres (5% of the fuel tank) is often capable of being adequately diluted simply by entirely filling the remainder of the tank with the right fuel.
      It is pretty rare to come across a vehicle going through problems due to below 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Be aware that it is very infrequent - in no way impossible to encounter. You will discover a few automobiles that will not endure any amount of fuel contamination whatsoever.
   2. Between 2.5 and 5 litres of Petrol in the Peugeot (5 to 10%) is a 50/50 scenario. Our practical experience has shown us that as many people get away with this as all those who break down. When you are figuring out whether to chance it and basically top it up consider that it is the same thing as wagering all of it on black - you have got a 50/50 chance of it working.
   3. Anything above 5 litres of Petrol in your Diesel 207 CC Hdi must straightaway be drained out since your probability of getting away with that level of contamination is undoubtedly less than one in 50 - genuinely long odds.
2. Put some Petrol in a Diesel Peugeot and drove it: Have you noted any performance problems as a result of putting the wrong fuel in your 207 CC Hdi? If so, have it removed irrespective of the amount of Petrol or even the contamination ratio. Still running a vehicle that is currently beginning to suffer from the effect of fuel contamination can definitely bring about increasing amounts of damage being caused to the fuel system components.
3. Would you like reassurance?
   In that case get it drained. Regardless of the contamination percentage, there is inevitably a certain level of risk linked with running a Diesel vehicle on fuel contaminated with Petrol. Likely implications of driving on the wrong fuel normally include the engine refusing to start, running lumpy, losing power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, damaged 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 cease driving and have it removed right away.
