Incorrect fuel in your Alfa Romeo 156? Diesel in your Petrol Alfa Romeo?

ABOUT

Filling Diesel in a Petrol Alfa Romeo is a common mistake. And what you should do about it varies according to a variety of things. In case you want to know what it is advisable to do about this then stay with me.
These are the most crucial variables to to consider when deciding whether to get your car drained:

1. How much Diesel did you put in the Alfa Romeo, considering that the fuel tank capacity of the Alfa Romeo 156 is most likely approximately 63 litres?
   1. A small amount of Diesel, less than 3.15 litres of Diesel in a Petrol 156 will usually not really be a huge problem. Experience has demonstrated to us that an amount under 3.15 litres (which is about 5% of the whole fuel tank capacity) is usually capable of being completely diluted simply by totally filling up the tank with the right fuel.
      It is pretty unusual to encounter a car or truck experiencing difficulties because of less than 5% wrong fuel contamination. Be aware that it is very unusual - not impossible to find. You can get some vehicles that don't stand any amount of contamination in the slightest.
   2. Anywhere between 3.15 and 6.3 litres of Diesel in the Alfa Romeo (from 5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 scenario. Our practical experience has confirmed that as many drivers get away with this as those who don't. Any time you are figuring out whether or not to risk it and basically fill it up recognise that it is very much like gambling all of it on black - you've got a 50/50 possibility of it working out.
   3. Anything over 6.3 litres of Diesel in a Petrol 156 really should immediately be removed since your likelihood of driving with that level of contamination is probably less than one in 50 - truly big odds.
2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Alfa Romeo and drove it: Have you noted any performance concerns since putting the bad fuel in your 156? If you have, get it emptied regardless of the volume of Diesel or the contamination ratio. Continuing to run running an automobile that is now beginning to suffer from the effects of wrong fuel contamination can just result in even more harm being caused to the fuel system parts.
3. Do you need reassurance?
   You should get it emptied. Regardless of contamination ratio, there is invariably a certain level of threat linked with operating a Petrol vehicle on fuel contaminated with Diesel. Probable implications of driving on the incorrect fuel include the motor not starting, running unevenly, lack of power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn or bunged injectors, and the like. These are a few of the most common Diesel in Petrol signs and symptoms, and in the event that you observe any of them then cease driving and get it drained right now.
