Subaru Fuel Drain

ABOUT

Putting Petrol in a Diesel Subaru is a very common problem. And what you need to do about it depends on several different factors. Assuming you want to know what it is advisable to do about it then keep reading.
Here are the most important factors to think about when figuring out whether or not to have your car drained:

  1. How much Petrol have you put in to the Subaru, considering that the fuel capacity of your Subaru Trezia 1.4D is usually approximately 42 litres?
    1. A modest amount of Petrol, something like 2.1 litres of Petrol in a Diesel Trezia 1.4D will quite often not be a big problem. Experience has taught us that an amount under 2.1 litres (which is close to 5% of the entire fuel tank capacity) is in many instances capable of being adequately diluted by means of totally filling up the rest of the tank with the right fuel.
      It's highly rare to find a car or truck experiencing issues because of lower than 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Be aware that it's rare - in no way impossible to find. There are actually a number of motor vehicles that will not endure any degree of contamination whatsoever.
    2. Somewhere between 2.1 and 4.2 litres of Petrol in the Subaru (from 5 to 10%) is a 50/50 situation. Our working experience has demonstrated that as many motorists get away with it as those who don't. When you are deciding on whether or not to risk it and just fill it up recognise that it is very much like wagering it all on black - you will have a 50/50 chance of it working.
    3. Anything over 4.2 litres of Petrol in your Diesel Trezia 1.4D should straight away be drained because your likelihood of getting away with this level of contamination is almost certainly less than one in 50 - definitely huge odds.
  2. Put some Petrol in a Diesel Subaru and drove it: Have you noticed any kind of performance troubles as a result of putting the incorrect fuel in the Trezia 1.4D? If you have, get it emptied regardless of the volume of Petrol or the contamination ratio. Continually running an automobile that is now starting to suffer the consequences of fuel contamination can just bring about progressively more harm affecting the fuel system parts.
  3. Would you like assurance?
    Simply get it drained. No matter the contamination percentage, there is invariably some amount of danger connected with driving a Diesel vehicle on fuel contaminated with the incorrect fuel. Likely results of driving a car on the incorrect fuel include things like the motor refusing to start, running lumpy, losing power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn or blocked injectors, and so forth. These are some of the most typical Petrol in Diesel warning signs, and if you detect any of them stop driving and have it removed asap.

Petrol in Diesel Questions

When someone has put Petrol in a Diesel car they have a few very common questions. So we have compiled a list of the most Frequently Asked Questions for you

I put Petrol in a Diesel car and drove it. What do I do?

Answer

Turn off the car as soon as possible and call us. Continuing to run a vehicle on the wrong fuel can potentially damage it. We will be able to give you advice and assistance based on your circumstances

Will driving a Diesel car on Petrol cause damage to it?

Answer

It can. However, if the problem is caught and remedied quickly the risks will be minimal. Of the 1,500 vehicles we attend every month, less than 0.5% have suffered and substantial damage requiring parts replacement.

How much Petrol can I get away with in a Diesel car?

Answer

The safe answer is none. However you might be able to get away with a very low contamination ratio. That being said, we always highly recommend draining anything over a 5% contamination ratio asap.

I know about petrol in diesel, but what about Super Unleaded?

Answer

Putting Super Unleaded, or Shell V-Power, BP Ultimate Unleaded, etc, will have the exact same effect as putting regular unleaded petrol in your diesel car and will need to be drained out and flushed.

Will getting you to do a fuel drain void my warranty?

Answer

No! The EU Block Exemption Regulations clearly state that "the work can be carried out by as long as that garage uses manufacturer approved parts and correctly follows the manufacturer's service schedule."

Can I top it up with Diesel and add some 2-stroke oil?

Answer

This might work on some vehicles in some cases, but in the majority on instances it won't and you risk damaging the Lambda sensors as well as fuel pump and injectors, just as a regular misfuel.
