Wrong Fuel Jaguar
Put Petrol in a Diesel Jaguar XJ 3.0 V6 Diesel LWB?
If you've gone and put the wrong fuel in a Jaguar you probably want to know what you should do about it. The answer to this question depends on the quantity of Petrol you put in your Diesel car.
The first thing we need to look at is fuel tank capacity. So, what is the fuel capacity of a 3-litre Diesel Jaguar XJ 3.0 V6 Diesel LWB? The answer is, the Jaguar fuel tank capacity is about 82 litres (according to our database).
What to do about putting Petrol in a Diesel Jaguar will vary dependent on the amount of Petrol 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 4.1 litres of Petrol in a Diesel Jaguar XJ 3.0 V6 Diesel LWB 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 4.1 and 8.2 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 8.2 litres of the wrong fuel in your Jaguar XJ 3.0 V6 Diesel LWB then you should definitely get it drained. This equates to more than 10% contamination and exceeds any "safe" contamination level.

I enjoyed a wonderful evening fishing on the weekend and was feeling delighted with myself the following morning as I set off to aid a young couple away. They'd stopped after adding diesel in their Jaguar, and the car was roughly an hour away. I emerged at their location and smiled to myself as I listened to the gal telling her spouse off for turning out to be so stupid. "Exactly how could you conceivably manage to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to explain that this kind of thing goes on on a regular basis and that it's truly nothing at all to stress about, however he all the same got his ear bent by his better half. Unfortunate lad. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed all of the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the right fuel. Watching them drive off I mouthed goodbye and considered what my missus would ask me if I made the exact same blunder... I would never hear the end of it!
