ABOUT

Putting Petrol in a Diesel Toyota is a fairly typical problem. And exactly what you want to do about it hinges on a few factors. In the event that you would like to find out what it is best to do about this then continue reading.
These are the most crucial variables to be aware of whenever deciding on whether to get the car drained:

1. Exactly how much Petrol have you put in to the Toyota, considering that the fuel capacity of your Toyota Carina TD is normally about 60 litres?
   1. A modest quantity of Petrol, less than 3 litres of Petrol in a Diesel Carina TD will quite often not necessarily be a significant problem. Experience has taught us that an amount less than 3 litres (5% of the entire fuel tank) is quite often capable of being sufficiently diluted simply by wholly topping the tank with the right fuel.
      It is pretty rare to find an automobile having problems with less than 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Be aware that it is very uncommon - certainly not impossible to encounter. You will discover certain automobiles that will not endure any degree of fuel contamination whatsoever.
   2. In between 3 and 6 litres of Petrol in the Toyota (5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 situation. Our practical experience has confirmed that as many drivers get away with it as all those who don't. Whenever you are figuring out whether or not to chance it and just fill it up recognise that it is much like wagering all of it on black - you have a 50/50 chance of it working.
   3. Anything more than 6 litres of Petrol in your Diesel Carina TD should straightaway be drained out because your probability of succeeding with this quantity of contamination is undoubtedly lower than one in 50 - extremely huge odds.
2. Put some Petrol in a Diesel Toyota and drove it: Have you seen any performance concerns ever since putting the incorrect fuel in your Carina TD? If that's the case, get it emptied irrespective of the quantity of Petrol or even the contamination percentage. Still running a car that is now beginning to suffer from the effect of fuel contamination can only cause more harm being done to the fuel system parts.
3. Do you need peace of mind?
   Simply get it drained. Regardless of the contamination percentage, there is inevitably some amount of danger in connection with driving a Diesel vehicle on Diesel contaminated with Petrol. Probable final outcomes of driving on the incorrect fuel include the motor refusing to start, running unevenly, loss in power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn out or clogged injectors, and the like. These are several of the most frequently seen Petrol in Diesel signs or symptoms, and should you recognise any of them stop driving and have it removed as soon as possible.
