Contaminated fuel in a Ferrari F355 Berlinetta? Diesel in your Petrol Ferrari?

ABOUT

Putting Diesel in a Petrol Ferrari is a common mistake. And exactly what you have to do about it hinges on a number of things. Assuming you want to know what you ought to do to sort it out then continue reading.
Here are the key variables to take into consideration whenever deciding whether or not to get it drained:

1. How much Diesel have you put in the Ferrari, considering that the fuel capacity of your Ferrari F355 Berlinetta is probably roughly 88 litres?
   1. A small quantity of Diesel, as little as 4.4 litres of Diesel in a Petrol F355 Berlinetta will typically not really be a major problem. Experience has proven to us that quantities less than 4.4 litres (which is approximately 5% of the whole fuel tank capacity) is frequently able to be adequately diluted by thoroughly filling the remainder of the tank with Petrol.
      It's rather unusual to encounter a vehicle going through problems because of under 5% wrong fuel contamination. Keep in mind that it is very infrequent - in no way impossible to find. There are actually a number of cars that don't endure any level of contamination at all.
   2. Somewhere between 4.4 and 8.8 litres of Diesel in the Ferrari (from 5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 condition. Our expertise has confirmed that as many drivers get away with it as all those who break down. Any time you're deciding upon whether to chance it and just simply top it up remember that it is the same thing as wagering your car on black - you've got a 50/50 chance of it being ok.
   3. Anything over 8.8 litres of Diesel in a Petrol F355 Berlinetta must straightaway be removed since your probability of driving with this amount of contamination is in all likelihood less than one in 50 - really huge odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Ferrari and drove it: Have you observed any performance issues as a result of putting the wrong fuel in the F355 Berlinetta? If that's the case, have it removed irrespective of the quantity of Diesel or the contamination percentage. Still running an automobile that is beginning to suffer the effect of wrong fuel contamination will just end up in progressively more damage affecting your fuel system components.
3. Would you like security?
   Then get it emptied. No matter the contamination ratio, there is always some degree of risk connected to driving a Petrol vehicle on fuel contaminated with Diesel. Probable implications of driving a vehicle on the incorrect fuel include the engine refusing to start, running unevenly, loss in power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn out or blocked injectors, etc. These are some of the most typical Diesel in Petrol warning signs, and if you detect any of them then stop and have it drained as soon as possible.
