Whenever you are trying to decide whether or not to risk it and basically top it up consider that it is exactly like gambling all of it on black - you have a 50/50 chance of it being ok.
   3. Anything in excess of 7.4 litres of Diesel in your Petrol Corvette ought to as soon as possible be removed since your likelihood of succeeding with this level of contamination is almost certainly below one in 50 - genuinely long odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Chevrolet and drove it: Have you noticed any performance difficulties ever since putting the incorrect fuel in the Corvette?

Proceeding to drive running an automobile that is now starting to suffer the consequences of fuel contamination can typically lead to more and more harm affecting the fuel system components.
3. Do you need peace of mind?
   Simply get it drained. Regardless of the contamination ratio, there is inevitably some extent of threat resulting from running a Petrol vehicle on fuel contaminated with the incorrect fuel.
