doc dapat drain ng tank at change fuel filter...para sigurado lang
maselan ang crdi engine
di pa siguro na experience dyan sa casa mo cases of fuel contamination

[xTrememan]

Gud evening po sa inyo. Was able to bring my SF to the casa this afternoon after filling my gas tank with 20 liters of diesel. Wasn't able to drain contaminated diesel from my tank, the chief mechanic of Hyundai here simply advised me to dilute the tank with 20 liters of diesel (free of charge from the gasoline station) and bring my SF to them. At first I was hesitant and insisted on draining the tank prior to starting again the engine, however, he said that if contaminated diesel went into my engine, I wouldn't be able to travel that far (approx 5 km) without experiencing engine trouble. Anyway, I was able to bring my SF to the casa (another 4 km run with the contaminated diesel, though this time diluted with 20 liters of diesel) and again my SF ran smoothly and I didn't feel anything wrong.

What they did was just flush out contaminated diesel from the fuel filter (I guess). Hindi nga yata nila naubos lahat, then filled it up again (full tank) with fresh diesel. They test drove it and nothing went wrong. Wala naman ako napansin as far as the power or pull of the engine is concerned, malakas pa rin hatak. The engine sound is still the same. But still, medyo di pa rin ako comfortable, baka anytime magkaproblema engine.

Ingat lang po tayong lahat para makaiwas sa anumang aksidente.

This means that Hyundai CRDi's are really tough diesel engines. Yung layo ng tinakbo mo with a contaminated diesel could mean serious trouble for your engine. Pero in your case, you've given your engine a real test. Buti ok pa din sya.

Sir C190, I am also thinking of the same thing.. drain the tank, kaya lang I was given assurance by hyundai mechanic na ok naman daw yung na drain nila. Initially they also planned to replace the fuel filter, pero di na rin pinalitan kasi ok din naman daw. Hopefully wala naman talaga pumasok sa engine. I've also read from other forums that diesel engines can tolerate up to 60/40 diesel-gas mixtures. Ewan lang kung totoo ito, pero I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I've also heard some local starex owners here mix 1 liter of gas per full tank. Though I know this is not supposed to be done, diesel are for diesel only and gas for gas only, mukang matibay nga crdi engines ng hyundai . Masusubukan nga talaga tibay ni SF kung wala mangyari sa kanya.

Sir eXtrememan, sana mag dilang anghel ka. Kung hindi, ibenta ko na SF ko, tapos bila ako ng bago...... SF pa rin.

Haha! Mahirap buhay ngayon. Just stick to your current SF CRDi and bring out its potentials... maging unleaded fuel capable. Hahaha! Joke! Bilib talaga ako sa mga CRDi ng Hyundai. Di pa nga kami makapagdecide sa bibilin namin na sasakyan sa dami ng diesel cars ngayon... wala kasi m/t ang SF. Bahala na si batman kung ano mabili.

Sir can you observe your fuel comsumption with some gasoline mixture? bk mag improve eh. In theory that is

meron nabibili sa koreanimports niyan or pede niyo po pagawa/modify sa maspro tulad ng kay sir c190!

multimeter ibig niyo sabihin gauges? yung oil temp meter, oil pressure, water temp etc? alam ko walang OEM pero may mga aftermarket na gauges na may kasama nang sensors like Defi, pricey nga lang

sir pa post nga ng pics ng understrutbar at nung 20'' mo

Old Man EMU OME 033 for rear shocks
OME 908 rear coilsprings

[C190]

my last 300 kms FC- 12.5kms/li

[washburn]

12.5/kms/li? nice numbers.

i just had mine serviced 20TKM checkup

tama ba pricing

2.4K air filter cartridge
1.6K something another air filter tech part

parang ang mahal naman yata ng maintenance ng Santa Fe

my gasoline car hindi naman umaabot ng ganito. change air filter din, pero 800 lang.

tapos yun next PMS ko according to Hyundai CASA, 3 months.
yun sa gasoline car ko, after 6 months na daw ako bumalik.

parang mahal ata maint ng diesel ah o sobra makataga yun Hyundai cASA dyan sa C5.

sakin total ng 11K pesos ang 20k pms sa akin na yung oil (hyundai global)
Royal Purple na nilagay kong oil, ganda ng performance! 10w40 c/o migs of speedyfix

IMO mahal talaga maintenance nito, aside from being a SUV, CRDi ang engine nito plus pa yung standard pricing ng casa na mataas, no choice kahit ok pa yung part minsan pinapalitan na kasi by the book sila e

[washburn]

regular oil lang ako,baka try ko rin full synthetic para makatikim naman si SF..
dumating na ba replacement mags mo?
kita tayo sa next EB,nagmamadali ako nung nagkita tayo

Di pa nga e, naipit daw sa korea mga shipments ng hyundai medyo matatagalan pa raw, mukang kung may kailangan kang parts sa kanila na wala silang stock mukang sobrang tagal ang aantayin mo

kung palit ka oil recommend ko sayo Royal Purple, ganda ng performance!

check ko rin FC ko kung nakakasave ng gas to sa CRDi

cge kita kita nalang ulit

hi, we are planning to buy SF. i want to know what are you feedbacks regarding your SF?

ride/comfort? aircon? FC? legroom? maintainance? spare parts? gas or diesel?

i believe there are a lot of SF owners here. hope to hear you guys soon. ^^

[ghost recon]

i suggest that you should conduct a test drive.

my choice before was between these 3 (captiva, fortuner, santa fe) and i end up with santa fe.
