Bad fuel in your Peugeot 407 HDi? Petrol in a Diesel Peugeot?

ABOUT

Filling up with Petrol in a Diesel Peugeot is a regular mistake to make. And its solution depends upon several different factors. In the event that you want to know what you ought to do about this then please read on.
Listed here the key variables to take into account whenever determining whether or not to have a fuel drain:

1. What level of Petrol did you put into the Peugeot, keeping in mind that the fuel tank capacity of the Peugeot 407 HDi is normally around 66 litres?
   1. A tiny quantity of Petrol, as little as 3.3 litres of Petrol in a Diesel 407 HDi will usually not be a huge problem. Experience has taught us that quantities less than 3.3 litres (about 5% of the whole fuel tank) is very often capable of being adequately diluted by means of thoroughly topping up the remainder of the tank with Diesel.
      It's very rare to find a motor vehicle having issues with less than 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Keep in mind it's rare - not impossible to find. There are actually a number of cars that don't stand any degree of contamination in the slightest.
   2. Between 3.3 and 6.6 litres of Petrol in the Peugeot (from 5 to 10%) is a 50/50 scenario. Our working experience has shown that as many people get away with this as those people who break down. Whenever deciding upon whether to chance it and basically top it up remember that it is the same as wagering all of it on black - you have got a 50/50 possibility of it working out.
   3. Anything more than 6.6 litres of Petrol in your Diesel 407 HDi ought to straightaway be removed as your likelihood of succeeding with that level of contamination is very likely lower than one in fifty - definitely big odds.
2. Put Petrol in a Diesel Peugeot and drove it: Have you noticed any performance issues as a result of putting the bad fuel in the 407 HDi? In that case, have it drained regardless of the volume of Petrol or even the contamination ratio. Continuing to drive running a motor vehicle that is currently starting to suffer the effects of fuel contamination will just cause even more damage being caused to the fuel system components.
3. Are you interested in reassurance?
   You should get it emptied. No matter the contamination percentage, there is always a certain level of risk connected with driving a Diesel engine on Diesel contaminated with Petrol. Possible consequences of driving a vehicle on the incorrect fuel can include the engine not starting, running unevenly, loss in power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, damaged or clogged injectors, etc. These are a few of the most typical Petrol in Diesel warning signs, and should you observe any of them stop driving and have it drained asap.
