Incorrect fuel in a Volkswagen Touran TDI? Petrol in your Diesel Volkswagen?

ABOUT

Putting Petrol in a Diesel Volkswagen is a fairly typical mistake to make. And its solution is based on an assortment of factors. If you want to know what you have to do to sort it out then please read on.
Let us discuss the most important variables to keep in mind when making a decision whether or not to have a fuel drain:

1. How much Petrol have you put in to the Volkswagen, taking into consideration that the fuel capacity of your Volkswagen Touran TDI is probably around 60 litres?
   1. Hardly any Petrol, as little as 3 litres of Petrol in a Diesel Touran TDI will in most cases not really be a big problem. Experience has proven to us that anything under 3 litres (5% of the overall fuel tank capacity) is in many instances capable of being adequately diluted simply by completely topping the rest of the tank with Diesel.
      It is relatively uncommon to find a car suffering from issues with less than 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Bear in mind that it is very unusual - not impossible to find. You will discover a few motor vehicles that won't endure any degree of fuel contamination at all.
   2. Between 3 and 6 litres of Petrol in the Volkswagen (from 5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 condition. Our experience has shown that as many motorists get away with it as all those who break down. Whenever trying to decide whether to risk it and just simply top it up remember that it is much like wagering all of it on black - you will have a 50/50 chance of it being ok.
   3. Anything more than 6 litres of Petrol in a Diesel Touran TDI ought to promptly be removed because your likelihood of getting away with this amount of contamination is almost certainly lower than one in fifty - extremely big odds.
2. Put some Petrol in a Diesel Volkswagen and drove it: Have you seen any kind of performance problems as a result of putting the incorrect fuel in the Touran TDI? If that's the case, have it removed irrespective of the volume of Petrol or even the contamination percentage. Continually driving a car that is now beginning to suffer from the effect of wrong fuel contamination will typically cause increasing amounts of harm being caused to the fuel system.
3. Do you want reassurance?
   Then simply just get it removed. No matter the contamination ratio, there is inevitably some amount of danger affiliated with running a Diesel vehicle on fuel contaminated with Petrol. Probable outcomes of driving on the incorrect fuel include the engine refusing to start, running lumpy, loss in power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn out or bunged injectors, and so forth. These are several of the commonest Petrol in Diesel signs and symptoms, and if you notice any of them then stop and get it drained right away.
