Put Petrol in a Diesel Land Rover Freelander 2.0 di Softback?
If you've gone and put the wrong fuel in your Land Rover 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 the Land Rover's fuel tank capacity. So, what is the fuel capacity of a 2-litre Diesel Freelander 2.0 di Softback? The answer is: the fuel tank capacity of most Land Rover Freelander 2.0 di Softbacks is about 59 litres (according to our database).
What to do about putting Petrol in a Diesel Land Rover 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 2.95 litres of Petrol in a Diesel Land Rover Freelander 2.0 di Softback 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 2.95 and 5.9 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 5.9 litres of the wrong fuel in your Land Rover Freelander 2.0 di Softback then you should definitely get it drained. This equates to more than 10% contamination and exceeds any "safe" contamination level.

Wrong Fuel Drainage Solutions is fully accredited and certified to carry out all types of contaminated fuel retrieval. To find out how we can help just give us a call.
We a few weeks ago received a phone call from a man who had put the wrong fuel in his Land Rover. He had broken down on the street. "After putting petrol in my diesel car I didn't realize the quandary till it conked out. You took the wrong fuel from my car and had it functioning . I was amazed as a result of both your call-out time and your rates". Obviously we got there punctually and flushed the engine after flushing all of the wrong fuel from the diesel tank. The driver was smiling again by the time we finished and he drove away satisfied and content.
