Incorrect fuel in your Peugeot 308 CC Hdi? Petrol in a Diesel Peugeot?

ABOUT

Putting Petrol in a Diesel Peugeot is a very common mistake to make. And exactly what you want to do about it varies according to an assortment of things. If you would like to find out what you need to do about it then read on.
Here are the key variables to take into consideration whenever figuring out whether or not to get a fuel drain:

1. What amount of Petrol did you put into the Peugeot, considering that the fuel capacity of the Peugeot 308 CC Hdi is normally around 60 litres?
   1. A modest amount of Petrol, less than 3 litres of Petrol in a Diesel 308 CC Hdi will more often than not not be a massive problem. Experience has demonstrated to us that anything less than 3 litres (almost 5% of the entire fuel tank volume) is usually capable of being completely diluted through wholly filling the rest of the tank with Diesel.
      It is extremely unusual to come across a vehicle going through problems with below 5% wrong fuel contamination. Bear in mind that it is unusual - certainly not impossible to encounter. There are a number of vehicles that will not endure any degree of contamination in the slightest.
   2. Between 3 and 6 litres of Petrol in the Peugeot (5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 condition. Our experience has shown that as many motorists get away with this as all those who break down. When trying to decide whether or not to chance it and simply top it up consider that it is just like betting all of it on black - you've got a 50/50 chance of it working out.
   3. Anything in excess of 6 litres of Petrol in a Diesel 308 CC Hdi should really promptly be drained seeing that your likelihood of getting away with that level of contamination is in all likelihood less than one in 50 - seriously long odds.
2. Put Petrol in a Diesel Peugeot and drove it: Have you noticed any kind of performance troubles as a result of putting the bad fuel in the 308 CC Hdi? In that case, have it drained regardless of the amount of Petrol or the contamination ratio. Still running a vehicle that is currently starting to suffer from the consequences of fuel contamination will typically end up in increasing amounts of harm affecting the fuel system parts.
3. Do you want assurance?
   Then simply just get it emptied. Regardless of contamination percentage, there is invariably some degree of danger connected with driving a Diesel engine on fuel contaminated with the incorrect fuel. Likely final outcomes of driving a car on the wrong fuel include things like the engine refusing to start, running unevenly, lack of power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn or blocked injectors, etc. These are several of the most typical Petrol in Diesel symptoms, and if you observe any of them then stop and get it removed right now.
