Incorrect fuel in a Ford C-Max? Diesel in a Petrol Ford?

ABOUT

Filling Diesel in a Petrol Ford is a very common mistake. And its solution varies according to a number of things. In the event that you want to find out what to do to sort it out then keep on reading.
Right here are the most important factors to be aware of when deciding whether to have the car drained:

1. How much Diesel did you put in the Ford, taking into consideration that the fuel capacity of your Ford C-Max is normally roughly 55 litres?
   1. A small amount of Diesel, as little as 2.75 litres of Diesel in a Petrol C-Max will typically not really be a big problem. Experience has proven to us that anything less than 2.75 litres (close to 5% of the whole fuel tank volume) is very often capable of being sufficiently diluted by entirely topping up the remainder of the tank with Petrol.
      It's extremely unusual to encounter a car going through difficulties with less than 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Be aware that it is very unusual - definitely not impossible to find. There are actually a few motor vehicles that will not endure any degree of fuel contamination at all.
   2. Anywhere between 2.75 and 5.5 litres of Diesel in the Ford (5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 condition. Our expertise has demonstrated that as many motorists get away with it as those people who break down. When you are figuring out whether or not to chance it and just fill it up consider that it is much like wagering all of it on black - you have got a 50/50 chance of it being ok.
   3. Anything in excess of 5.5 litres of Diesel in your Petrol C-Max ought to immediately be drained seeing that your probability of getting away with this amount of contamination is more than likely less than one in fifty - truly big odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Ford and drove it: Have you detected any performance concerns after putting the incorrect fuel in your C-Max? If that's the case, get it drained irrespective of the volume of Diesel or the contamination percentage. Continuing to drive running an automobile that is beginning to suffer from the consequences of fuel contamination will just cause more harm affecting your fuel system parts.
3. Would you like reassurance?
   Then get it emptied. Whatever the contamination ratio, there is invariably a certain level of risk linked with driving a Petrol motor on fuel contaminated with Diesel. Likely implications of driving on the wrong fuel include things like the engine refusing to start, running unevenly, reduced power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn or blocked injectors, etc. These are some of the commonest Diesel in Petrol signs and symptoms, and in the event that you recognise any of them stop driving and get it removed right away.
