Put Diesel in a Petrol Cadillac BLS Wagon 2.0 T?
If you've gone and put the wrong fuel in your Cadillac you probably want to know what you should do about it. The answer to this question depends on the quantity of Diesel you put in your Petrol car.
The first thing we need to look at is the Cadillac's fuel tank capacity. So, what is the fuel capacity of a 2-litre Petrol BLS Wagon 2.0 T? The answer is: the fuel tank capacity of most Cadillac BLS Wagon 2.0 Ts is about 58 litres (according to our database).
What to do about putting Diesel in a Petrol Cadillac will vary dependent on the amount of Diesel used. So, there are three possible scenarios:
(Please Note: These figures are approximates. Running an engine on any amount of incorrect fuel can cause damage, regardless of contamination percentage. Information given here is advice based solely on our customer reports and case histories. Full details should be procured from your vehicle manufacturer.)- FIVE PERCENT: If you put less than 2.9 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Cadillac BLS Wagon 2.0 T then in most cases, if the car's tank is completely filled with the correct fuel before it is started, it will probably be fine.
- FIVE TO TEN PERCENT: If you've put between 2.9 and 5.8 litres then you should probably give us a call. This is the grey area where sometimes you can get away with just topping it up, and sometimes you can't. Call us and, with a bit more information, we'll be able to give you the best advice on what to do next.
- If you've put more than 5.8 litres of the wrong fuel in your Cadillac BLS Wagon 2.0 T then you should definitely get it drained. This equates to more than 10% contamination and exceeds any "safe" contamination level.

Now I'm not too interested in doing the job Sundays, and the other day was no different. I'd just left the wife and kids after a magnificent dinner cooked for me by the wife, and I was off to sort out a guy who filled the wrong petrol in his Cadillac. He was located nearby thus it wouldn't be long before I arrived with him. Just as I drove up at the rear of the vehicle and got busy draining he told me "Thank God! I foolishly had my thoughts on other stuff and didn't ascertain I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Have I brought on any damage through driving it?" I said there shouldn't be any kind of damage and that also I would remove the contaminated fuel as soon as possible for him. As expected I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and filled up with some suitable fuel, and then yet another delighted customer was able to continue on his journey without the need for hassle. He did not stop thanking me, and that is actually what makes operating on Sundays just a little bit less painful to me!
