Wrong Fuel Hyundai
Put Diesel in a Petrol Hyundai Accent 1.3i [Automatic]?
If you've gone and put the wrong fuel in a Hyundai 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 1.3-litre Petrol Hyundai Accent 1.3i [Automatic] is about 45 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 2.25 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Hyundai Accent 1.3i [Automatic] 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 2.25 and 4.5 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 4.5 litres of the wrong fuel in your Hyundai Accent 1.3i [Automatic] then you should definitely get it drained. This equates to more than 10% contamination and exceeds any "safe" contamination level.

This was most definitely what is called an unsociable hour to be up. It was around 2 in the morning and noone was about. It had been quite quiet so far, and me and John were sitting about looking through a couple of old articles. It was a rare peaceful time. It was indeed so relaxing that the instant the telephone ultimately rang it made me jump! The person said: "I only just concluded my night shift and foolishly filled petrol in my diesel Hyundai". We asked him to let us know where exactly he was located and we left, reaching him an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleared from the vehicle. He thanked us profusely for showing up so rapidly. As we were coming back home we found two young women at the side of the highway who looked like they suffered a flat tyre. Accordingly we pulled over to help them change it, much to their elation.
