Bad fuel in a Fiat Marea? Diesel in your Petrol Fiat?

ABOUT

Filling up with Diesel in a Petrol Fiat is a common mistake. And its remedy hinges on a few factors. If you would like to know what you have to do about this then continue reading.
Let us discuss the key factors to be aware of when deciding whether to get it drained:

1. What level of Diesel did you put in the Fiat, taking into account that the fuel capacity of the Fiat Marea is usually around 63 litres?
   1. Hardly any Diesel, less than 3.15 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Marea will typically not necessarily be a massive problem. Experience has demonstrated to us that quantities under 3.15 litres (roughly 5% of the fuel tank) is frequently able to be completely diluted by wholly filling the tank with Petrol.
      It is rather rare to come across a motor vehicle experiencing issues with less than 5% wrong fuel contamination. Do not forget that it is very rare - definitely not impossible to encounter. There are actually some vehicles that won't endure any quantity of fuel contamination in the slightest.
   2. In between 3.15 and 6.3 litres of Diesel in the Fiat (5 to 10%) is a 50/50 scenario. Our experience demonstrates that as many people get away with it as all those who break down. Any time you're deciding whether to chance it and simply top it up recognise that it is the same thing as wagering all of it on black - you have a 50/50 chance of it working out.
   3. Anything more than 6.3 litres of Diesel in your Petrol Marea really should straight away be removed as your probability of getting away with this amount of contamination is almost certainly less than one in fifty - extremely long odds.
2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Fiat and drove it: Have you detected any kind of performance concerns after putting the wrong fuel in the Marea? If you have, have it removed regardless of the quantity of Diesel or even the contamination percentage. Continuing to run running a vehicle that is already beginning to suffer the effect of wrong fuel contamination can likely lead to more and more damage affecting your fuel system parts.
3. Are you interested in assurance?
   Then get it removed. Regardless of contamination ratio, there is inevitably a certain level of threat associated with driving a Petrol motor on Petrol contaminated with the incorrect fuel. Probable results of driving a car on the wrong fuel include things like the engine not starting, running unevenly, losing power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn or blocked injectors, and the like. These are some of the commonest Diesel in Petrol symptoms, and in the event that you observe any of them then stop driving and get it removed asap.
