Contaminated fuel in a BMW M coupe? Diesel in a Petrol BMW?

ABOUT

Filling up with Diesel in a Petrol BMW is a regular error. And exactly what you need to do about it depends upon several factors. If perhaps you want to know what you need to do to fix it then please read on.
Right here are the most important variables to take into consideration whenever deciding on whether to get the car drained:

1. What amount of Diesel did you put in the BMW, bearing in mind that the fuel tank capacity of your BMW M coupe is probably about 51 litres?
   1. A tiny quantity of Diesel, something like 2.55 litres of Diesel in a Petrol M coupe will normally not be a big problem. Experience has proven to us that an amount under 2.55 litres (which is close to 5% of the overall fuel tank capacity) is very often able to be adequately diluted simply by completely topping up the rest of the tank with Petrol.
      It is very unusual to encounter a vehicle having problems with less than 5% wrong fuel contamination. Keep in mind that it is uncommon - in no way impossible to find. There are actually certain motor vehicles that don't endure any quantity of fuel contamination whatsoever.
   2. Anywhere between 2.55 and 5.1 litres of Diesel in the BMW (from 5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 condition. Our experience has shown that as many people get away with this as all those who break down. Whenever figuring out whether or not to risk it and basically fill it up recognise that it is the same as gambling all of it on black - you will have a 50/50 chance of it being ok.
   3. Anything in excess of 5.1 litres of Diesel in your Petrol M coupe ought to straightaway be drained out since your probability of getting away with this quantity of contamination is probably less than one in 50 - extremely big odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol BMW and drove it: Have you noticed any kind of performance difficulties after putting the wrong fuel in your M coupe? In that case, have it emptied regardless of the quantity of Diesel or even the contamination percentage. Continuing to run running a vehicle that is currently starting to suffer from the effect of fuel contamination will definitely be responsible for even more damage being caused to the fuel system parts.
3. Are you interested in peace of mind?
   In that case get it removed. Regardless of the contamination percentage, there is inevitably some amount of risk connected with driving a Petrol engine on Petrol contaminated with Diesel. Possible outcomes of driving a car on the incorrect fuel include things like the motor not starting, running lumpy, reduced power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn or blocked injectors, and so forth. These are several of the most frequently seen Diesel in Petrol warning signs, and should you recognise any of them then stop and have it drained immediately.
