Put Diesel in a Petrol Jeep Compass 2.0 4x2?
If you've gone and put the wrong fuel in your Jeep 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 Jeep's fuel tank capacity. So, what is the fuel capacity of a 2-litre Petrol Compass 2.0 4x2? The answer is: the fuel tank capacity of most Jeep Compass 2.0 4x2s is about 51 litres (according to our database).
What to do about putting Diesel in a Petrol Jeep 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 2.55 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Jeep Compass 2.0 4x2 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 2.55 and 5.1 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 5.1 litres of the wrong fuel in your Jeep Compass 2.0 4x2 then you should definitely get it drained. This equates to more than 10% contamination and exceeds any "safe" contamination level.

It was just before seven pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a dry night, it had not stopped raining! Ray and me were sitting talking over the recent tennis, waiting around for the seventh fuel drain of the day to arrive. Inevitably we had the call from a girl on a business trip who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Jeep hire car by mistake. She was rather irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I can not believe that I've ruined the car! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that these things unfortunately can happen. She was able to get the car to a secure space and, because it was only a few minutes off from the office, we could arrive at the woman quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the hotel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away satisfied and less anxious. One more misfuel correction well done in my opinion!
