Contaminated fuel in your Bentley Continental GT? Diesel in a Petrol Bentley?

ABOUT

Filling Diesel in a Petrol Bentley is a common mistake. And its remedy depends on a number of factors. If you want to find out what you have to do about this then please read on.
Listed below are the most crucial variables to take into account whenever figuring out whether to have a fuel drain:

1. Exactly how much Diesel have you put in to the Bentley, considering that the fuel tank capacity of your Bentley Continental GT is usually about 90 litres?
   1. A modest amount of Diesel, as little as 4.5 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Continental GT will quite often not really be a major problem. Experience has proven to us that an amount less than 4.5 litres (which is approximately 5% of the total fuel tank volume) is generally capable of being adequately diluted by means of thoroughly filling up the rest of the tank with Petrol.
      It's rather rare to encounter a motor vehicle experiencing problems with under 5% wrong fuel contamination. Keep in mind it's rare - in no way impossible to find. There are actually a few automobiles that won't endure any level of contamination in the slightest.
   2. Somewhere between 4.5 and 9 litres of Diesel in the Bentley (5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 situation. Our expertise has revealed that as many motorists get away with it as those who don't. Whenever you are deciding whether or not to chance it and just fill it up recognise that it is just like gambling it all on black - you will have a 50/50 possibility of it being ok.
   3. Anything over 9 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Continental GT should really promptly be drained as your probability of driving with that amount of contamination is almost certainly lower than one in fifty - truly long odds.
2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Bentley and drove it: Have you observed any performance issues ever since putting the incorrect fuel in the Continental GT? If that's the case, have it emptied irrespective of the amount of Diesel or even the contamination percentage. Continuing to run driving a motor vehicle that is beginning to suffer the consequences of fuel contamination can typically be responsible for increasing amounts of damage affecting your fuel system components.
3. Would you like assurance?
   Simply get it removed. Regardless of contamination ratio, there is invariably some amount of risk caused by operating a Petrol motor on Petrol contaminated with Diesel. Possible outcomes of driving a car on the wrong fuel can include the engine not starting, running lumpy, loss of power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn or blocked injectors, and the like. These are a few of the most frequently seen Diesel in Petrol signs and symptoms, and in the event that you observe any of them then stop and have it drained asap.
