Wrong fuel in your Fiat Brava? Diesel in your Petrol Fiat?

ABOUT

Putting Diesel in a Petrol Fiat is a very common mistake to make. And its remedy hinges on several different factors. Assuming you want to know what it is best to do about this then keep reading.
Right here are the most important variables to to consider whenever making a decision whether or not to get a fuel drain:

1. How much Diesel have you put in the Fiat, taking into account that the fuel tank capacity of the Fiat Brava is usually around 60 litres?
   1. A small quantity of Diesel, less than 3 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Brava will most of the time not be a huge problem. Experience has taught us that an amount under 3 litres (roughly 5% of the entire fuel tank) is generally capable of being sufficiently diluted by means of completely filling up the tank with the right fuel.
      It is highly rare to come across an automobile experiencing problems because of below 5% wrong fuel contamination. Be aware that it is very unusual - in no way impossible to encounter. You can get a few cars that won't endure any quantity of fuel contamination whatsoever.
   2. Somewhere between 3 and 6 litres of Diesel in the Fiat (5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 condition. Our practical experience has proven that as many drivers get away with it as all those who break down. When deciding whether to risk it and just simply fill it up consider that it is the same thing as betting it all on black - you will have a 50/50 possibility of it being ok.
   3. Anything above 6 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Brava must immediately be drained out seeing as your probability of succeeding with that level of contamination is undoubtedly less than one in fifty - truly huge odds.
2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Fiat and drove it: Have you noticed any performance difficulties after putting the incorrect fuel in the Brava? In that case, have it drained regardless of the amount of Diesel or the contamination ratio. Continuing to run running a motor vehicle that is now beginning to suffer from the consequences of wrong fuel contamination will definitely end up in increasing amounts of harm being done to the fuel system parts.
3. Are you looking for reassurance?
   Simply get it emptied. No matter the contamination ratio, there is always some extent of threat resulting from operating a Petrol vehicle on Petrol contaminated with Diesel. Probable consequences of driving on the wrong fuel normally include the engine not starting, running lumpy, loss of power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, damaged or clogged injectors, etc. These are a few of the most common Diesel in Petrol warning signs, and should you observe any of them then stop driving and have it removed as soon as possible.
