Bad fuel in your Cadillac Eldorado? Diesel in your Petrol Cadillac?

ABOUT

Putting Diesel in a Petrol Cadillac is a well-known mistake to make. And what you have to do about it hinges on several factors. If perhaps you want to find out what it is best to do to fix it then stay with me.
Listed below are the most crucial variables to take into consideration whenever deciding whether or not to have a fuel drain:

1. What level of Diesel did you put into the Cadillac, taking into consideration that the fuel tank capacity of your Cadillac Eldorado is in most cases around 76 litres?
   1. A small amount of Diesel, as little as 3.8 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Eldorado will most of the time not really be a big problem. Experience has shown us that anything under 3.8 litres (which is close to 5% of the fuel tank) is generally able to be sufficiently diluted by means of totally topping the rest of the tank with the appropriate fuel.
      It's pretty uncommon to come across a car or truck experiencing issues due to lower than 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Remember that it is infrequent - not impossible to encounter. There are certain automobiles that won't endure any quantity of contamination whatsoever.
   2. Anywhere between 3.8 and 7.6 litres of Diesel in the Cadillac (5 to 10%) is a 50/50 scenario. Our experience has shown that as many motorists get away with this as all those who break down. When you are deciding whether to chance it and just top it up recognise that it is exactly like betting all of it on black - you will have a 50/50 possibility of it working.
   3. Anything above 7.6 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Eldorado should straightaway be drained since your probability of getting away with this amount of contamination is very likely below one in fifty - definitely huge odds.
2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Cadillac and drove it: Have you observed any kind of performance issues after putting the bad fuel in your Eldorado? If so, get it drained irrespective of the amount of Diesel or the contamination ratio. Still running a car that is starting to suffer from the consequences of fuel contamination will just be responsible for progressively more damage affecting the fuel system parts.
3. Do you need assurance?
   You should get it removed. Regardless of the contamination percentage, there is inevitably some degree of risk associated with running a Petrol engine on fuel contaminated with Diesel. Possible implications of driving on the wrong fuel include things like the engine not starting, running unevenly, losing power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn or blocked injectors, and the like. These are several of the most common Diesel in Petrol signs and symptoms, and should you detect any of them then stop driving and have it drained right away.
