Contaminated fuel in a Volkswagen Eos TDI? Petrol in your Diesel Volkswagen?

ABOUT

Filling up with Petrol in a Diesel Volkswagen is a regularly occurring mistake. And exactly what you have to do about it depends upon a few factors. In case you would like to know what it is best to do to fix it then please read on.
Let us discuss the most crucial variables to think about when choosing whether to have your car drained:

1. What level of Petrol did you put in the Volkswagen, keeping in mind that the fuel tank capacity of your Volkswagen Eos TDI is normally roughly 55 litres?
   1. A tiny amount of Petrol, as little as 2.75 litres of Petrol in a Diesel Eos TDI will usually not really be a massive problem. Experience has taught us that an amount under 2.75 litres (close to 5% of the fuel tank) is quite often able to be sufficiently diluted simply by wholly filling up the rest of the tank with Diesel.
      It is rather rare to encounter an automobile suffering from issues with under 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Bear in mind that it is rare - certainly not impossible to find. You will discover a number of cars that will not stand any quantity of fuel contamination whatsoever.
   2. Somewhere between 2.75 and 5.5 litres of Petrol in the Volkswagen (5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 scenario. Our experience has revealed that as many motorists get away with this as all those who break down. Any time you're deciding whether or not to risk it and simply fill it up remember that it is the same as gambling it all on black - you've got a 50/50 chance of it being ok.
   3. Anything over 5.5 litres of Petrol in your Diesel Eos TDI should really straight away be drained out since your probability of getting away with that level of contamination is in all likelihood less than one in fifty - genuinely big odds.
2. Put some Petrol in a Diesel Volkswagen and drove it: Have you spotted any performance concerns ever since putting the wrong fuel in the Eos TDI? If so, have it emptied no matter the volume of Petrol or even the contamination ratio. Continually running an automobile that is already starting to suffer from the consequences of wrong fuel contamination will only cause increasing amounts of damage affecting your fuel system components.
3. Do you need assurance?
   In that case get it removed. Regardless of contamination ratio, there is inevitably some degree of risk connected to operating a Diesel vehicle on fuel contaminated with Petrol. Possible final outcomes of driving a car on the incorrect fuel include the engine not starting, running lumpy, loss in power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn out or bunged injectors, and so on. These are a few of the commonest Petrol in Diesel symptoms, and in the event that you observe any of them then stop and get it removed right now.
