Incorrectly put unleaded fuel in diesel Hilux


Recommended Posts

Hi, I just incorrectly put some unleaded fuel in my diesel Hilux. Put 0.66L of unleaded fuel followed by 52L of diesel (1.3%). Asked the person at the bowser and he said it was OK in that a much larger % was accepted, but figured afterwards he must have been talking about diesel in an unleaded car, which is a lot more forgiving. I then drove home about 10km without understanding the issue fully. Didn't notice anything different in the car, but would not have been paying a lot of attention.

Is it OK for an amount of 1.3%?

Read something about a DPF filter, if it has that it's a lot worse, would this Hilux have that?

Having started the car, has the damage already been done?

Details are:

Name: Toyota Hilux 140 SER
Model: LN147R
Year: 2004
Engine: 5L-E
Engine capacity: 3.0L
Cylinders: 4 Cylinder Diesel

To have driven 10km and its still running all is good, If it were a CRD things might not be, scored HPFP being one of them, being a 2004 its about 10 years too early to have a DPF

Honestly, what are you going to clean ? That 660ml of petrol in a 66 Lt tank of diesel would be no different than throwing a bottle of injector cleaner in. If it were water on the other hand I'd say drain it, Bloody water thats the killer especially on a Common Rail
