Contaminated fuel in your Alfa Romeo Mito? Diesel in your Petrol Alfa Romeo?

ABOUT

Putting Diesel in a Petrol Alfa Romeo is a well-known mistake. And what you have to do about it will depend on a variety of factors. Assuming you want to know what you have to do to sort it out then please read on.
Listed here are the most important factors to consider whenever deciding on whether or not to get a fuel drain:

1. What level of Diesel did you put in the Alfa Romeo, keeping in mind that the fuel capacity of your Alfa Romeo Mito is normally around 45 litres?
   1. A modest quantity of Diesel, as little as 2.25 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Mito will usually not necessarily be a massive problem. Experience has taught us that anything less than 2.25 litres (almost 5% of the whole fuel tank volume) is often able to be completely diluted by totally topping up the tank with the right fuel.
      It's relatively unusual to find a motor vehicle having issues with under 5% wrong fuel contamination. Please remember it's uncommon - in no way impossible to find. There are some vehicles that won't endure any amount of contamination whatsoever.
   2. In between 2.25 and 4.5 litres of Diesel in the Alfa Romeo (from 5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 situation. Our experience has shown that as many motorists get away with it as those people who don't. When you are deciding whether or not to risk it and just simply fill it up remember that it is much like betting it all on black - you have got a 50/50 chance of it working out.
   3. Anything over 4.5 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Mito really should as soon as possible be drained because your probability of getting away with that amount of contamination is almost certainly lower than one in fifty - really long odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Alfa Romeo and drove it: Have you spotted any performance problems ever since putting the incorrect fuel in your Mito? If that's the case, get it drained irrespective of the volume of Diesel or the contamination ratio. Still running a motor vehicle that is already beginning to suffer the consequences of wrong fuel contamination can likely lead to increasing amounts of harm being done to your fuel system components.
3. Are you looking for security?
   You should get it removed. Regardless of the contamination percentage, there is invariably a certain level of danger linked with driving a Petrol engine on Petrol contaminated with the incorrect fuel. Possible outcomes of driving a car on the wrong fuel can include the engine refusing to start, running unevenly, losing power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, damaged or clogged injectors, and so on. These are a few of the commonest Diesel in Petrol warning signs, and if you detect any of them cease driving and have it removed asap.
