Proceeding to drive running a car that is currently beginning to suffer from the effect of wrong fuel contamination will typically end up in progressively more harm being caused to the fuel system.
3. Are you looking for peace of mind?
   In that case get it emptied. Regardless of the contamination ratio, there is inevitably a certain level of danger caused by operating a Petrol motor on Petrol contaminated with the wrong fuel.
