Wrong fuel in a Fiat Freemont? Diesel in a Petrol Fiat?

ABOUT

Filling Diesel in a Petrol Fiat is a very common mistake to make. And what you want to do about it is dependent upon a number of things. If perhaps you would like to know what to do about this then keep reading.
Listed here the most important variables to think about whenever figuring out whether or not to have a fuel drain:

1. How much Diesel have you put in the Fiat, bearing in mind that the fuel capacity of your Fiat Freemont is usually roughly 78 litres?
   1. A tiny amount of Diesel, less than 3.9 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Freemont will generally not be a huge problem. Experience has proven to us that quantities under 3.9 litres (which is about 5% of the total fuel tank) is generally able to be sufficiently diluted through wholly filling up the tank with the right fuel.
      It is quite rare to come across an automobile experiencing issues due to under 5% wrong fuel contamination. Keep in mind that it's infrequent - certainly not impossible to encounter. You can get certain automobiles that will not endure any level of fuel contamination in the slightest.
   2. Between 3.9 and 7.8 litres of Diesel in the Fiat (5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 situation. Our working experience has confirmed that as many drivers get away with this as those who don't. When deciding upon whether to chance it and just simply fill it up remember that it is much like betting all of it on black - you will have a 50/50 possibility of it being ok.
   3. Anything over 7.8 litres of Diesel in your Petrol Freemont really should immediately be removed as your likelihood of succeeding with this quantity of contamination is in all likelihood less than one in fifty - seriously long odds.
2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Fiat and drove it: Have you observed any kind of performance concerns as a result of putting the bad fuel in your Freemont? If you have, have it emptied irrespective of the quantity of Diesel or even the contamination percentage. Continually driving a car that is now beginning to suffer the consequences of wrong fuel contamination will typically lead to even more damage being caused to the fuel system.
3. Are you interested in reassurance?
   Then simply just get it emptied. No matter the contamination percentage, there is invariably some extent of threat associated with running a Petrol vehicle on Petrol contaminated with the wrong fuel. Possible implications of driving on the incorrect fuel can include the engine refusing to start, running lumpy, loss in power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn or clogged injectors, and the like. These are a few of the most frequently seen Diesel in Petrol symptoms, and if you recognise any of them stop driving and have it removed asap.
