Put Diesel in a Petrol Daihatsu Sirion 1.5S?
If you've gone and put the wrong fuel in your 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.
The first thing we need to look at is the Daihatsu's fuel tank capacity. So, what is the fuel capacity of a 1.5-litre Petrol Sirion 1.5S? The answer is: the fuel tank capacity of most Daihatsu Sirion 1.5Ss is about 40 litres (according to our database).
What to do about putting Diesel in a Petrol Daihatsu 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 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Daihatsu Sirion 1.5S 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 and 4 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 4 litres of the wrong fuel in your Daihatsu Sirion 1.5S then you should definitely get it drained. This equates to more than 10% contamination and exceeds any "safe" contamination level.

This was an unsociable hour to be up. It was roughly sunrise and hardly anyone was about. It had become rather quiet thus far, and me and Ryan were loafing around reading through some old articles. This was an unusual quiet moment. Actually it was in fact that relaxing that the moment my mobile ultimately rang it made me start! The customer on the opposite end said: "I've just finished my overnight shift and foolishly put petrol in the diesel Daihatsu by mistake". I asked him to inform us where he was and we left, reaching him an hour later. The fuel was removed from the car and he said thank you for getting there so fast. While we were heading back home we spotted two girls at the side of the highway who appeared to have a puncture. So we stopped to change it, to their elation.
