Wrong Fuel Daihatsu
Put Diesel in a Petrol Daihatsu Applause Li, Xi, Zil?
If you've gone and put the wrong fuel in a Daihatsu 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.
Bear in mind that (according to our database) the fuel capacity of a 1.6-litre Petrol Daihatsu Applause Li, Xi, Zil is about 50 litres.
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 2.5 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Daihatsu Applause Li, Xi, Zil 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 2.5 and 5 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 litres of the wrong fuel in your Daihatsu Applause Li, Xi, Zil then you should definitely get it drained. This equates to more than 10% contamination and exceeds any "safe" contamination level.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Customer Reviews
Wrong Fuel Drainage Solutions is fully accredited and certified to carry out all types of contaminated fuel retrieval. To find out how we can help just give us a call.
A customer had conked out on a road, just after having put the wrong fuel in her car. She was crying and fairly troubled as she had put £42 of petrol in her diesel car. When she phoned us we made an effort to cool her as well as we could, assuring her that everything would be ok. When we arrived with her she was no longer upset and was rather curious in watching our technician perform the fuel drain on her Daihatsu. Afterwards she said: "My car is akin to my child, I only just paid for it and it really horrified me that I had put so much wrong fuel in it. I'm glad that it was so easily fixable."
