Put Diesel in a Petrol Chrysler 300C 2.7?
If you've gone and put the wrong fuel in your Chrysler 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 Chrysler's fuel tank capacity. So, what is the fuel capacity of a 2.7-litre Petrol 300C 2.7? The answer is: the fuel tank capacity of most Chrysler 300C 2.7s is about 68 litres (according to our database).
What to do about putting Diesel in a Petrol Chrysler 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 3.4 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Chrysler 300C 2.7 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 3.4 and 6.8 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 6.8 litres of the wrong fuel in your Chrysler 300C 2.7 then you should definitely get it drained. This equates to more than 10% contamination and exceeds any "safe" contamination level.

It was around 8 pm on a Monday and while we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and me were seated there commenting on the tennis, at the ready for the next job of the day to come in. In due time we received a phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Shell filling garage and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Chrysler lease car by mistake. The poor thing was fairly distressed it seemed, telling me "I still can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to worry, and also that things like this happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a secure position and, seeing as it was just a few miles off from where we were, we were able to find her almost instantly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the motel she was residing at. Even though we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home relaxed and less anxious. Another job done well in my opinion!
