Ferrari Fuel Drain

ABOUT

Filling up with Diesel in a Petrol Ferrari is a very common mistake. And what you want to do about it depends on several factors. In the event that you want to find out what you need to do about it then continue reading.
Listed here are the key variables to think about whenever choosing whether to get it drained:

  1. What level of Diesel did you put into the Ferrari, bearing in mind that the fuel tank capacity of the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti is probably about 105 litres?
    1. A tiny quantity of Diesel, something like 5.25 litres of Diesel in a Petrol 612 Scaglietti will normally not be a big problem. Experience has proven to us that anything under 5.25 litres (which is about 5% of the overall fuel tank) is quite often able to be sufficiently diluted through totally topping the remainder of the tank with the correct fuel.
      It is very rare to encounter a motor vehicle having difficulties with lower than 5% wrong fuel contamination. Please remember it is unusual - not impossible to encounter. You can get a number of vehicles that won't stand any level of contamination in the slightest.
    2. Somewhere between 5.25 and 10.5 litres of Diesel in the Ferrari (5 to 10%) is a 50/50 condition. Our experience demonstrates that as many motorists get away with this as those who don't. When trying to decide whether or not to risk it and just simply top it up recognise that it is the same thing as wagering your car on black - you've got a 50/50 chance of it working.
    3. Anything in excess of 10.5 litres of Diesel in your Petrol 612 Scaglietti should really straightaway be drained seeing that your likelihood of driving with this level of contamination is certainly less than one in fifty - genuinely big odds.
  2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Ferrari and drove it: Have you noted any performance problems since putting the wrong fuel in your 612 Scaglietti? If that's the case, have it removed no matter the volume of Diesel or even the contamination percentage. Still driving an automobile that is currently beginning to suffer the consequences of fuel contamination will just cause more harm affecting your fuel system parts.
  3. Would you like security?
    You should get it emptied. No matter the contamination ratio, there is inevitably some amount of risk linked with running a Petrol motor on fuel contaminated with Diesel. Possible outcomes of driving on the wrong fuel include things like the engine not starting, running unevenly, losing power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn or bunged injectors, and so forth. These are several of the most frequently seen Diesel in Petrol signs and symptoms, and in the event that you detect any of them then stop and have it drained as soon as possible.

Diesel in Petrol FAQs

When someone has put Diesel in a Petrol car they have a few very common questions. So we have compiled a list of the most Frequently Asked Questions for you

I put Diesel in a Petrol car and drove it. What do I do?

Answer

Turn off the car as soon as possible and call us. Continuing to run a vehicle on the wrong fuel can potentially damage it. We will be able to give you advice and assistance based on your circumstances

Will driving a Petrol car on Diesel cause damage to it?

Answer

It can. However, if the problem is caught and remedied quickly the risks will be minimal. Of the 1,500 vehicles we attend every month, less than 0.5% have suffered and substantial damage requiring parts replacement.

How much Diesel can I get away with in a Petrol car?

Answer

The safe answer is none. However you might be able to get away with a very low contamination ratio. That being said, we always highly recommend draining anything over a 5% contamination ratio asap.

I know about petrol in diesel, but what about Super Unleaded?

Answer

Putting Super Unleaded, or Shell V-Power, BP Ultimate Unleaded, etc, will have the exact same effect as putting regular unleaded petrol in your diesel car and will need to be drained out and flushed.

Will getting you to do a fuel drain void my warranty?

Answer

No! The EU Block Exemption Regulations clearly state that "the work can be carried out by as long as that garage uses manufacturer approved parts and correctly follows the manufacturer's service schedule."

Can I top it up with Petrol and add some 2-stroke oil?

Answer

This might work on some vehicles in some cases, but in the majority on instances it won't and you risk damaging the Lambda sensors as well as fuel pump and injectors, just as a regular misfuel.
