Bad fuel in your Ford Focus ST? Diesel in a Petrol Ford?

ABOUT

Putting Diesel in a Petrol Ford is a fairly typical mistake. And its remedy varies according to a few things. In the event that you would like to know what you have to do about this then continue reading.
Listed here are the main factors to be aware of when making a decision whether to get a fuel drain:

1. What level of Diesel did you put in the Ford, keeping in mind that the fuel tank capacity of your Ford Focus ST is most likely approximately 55 litres?
   1. A modest quantity of Diesel, something like 2.75 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Focus ST will more often than not not be a big problem. Experience has proven to us that quantities under 2.75 litres (which is 5% of the overall fuel tank volume) is sometimes capable of being sufficiently diluted simply by entirely filling up the rest of the tank with the right fuel.
      It is very rare to find an automobile having problems with less than 5% wrong fuel contamination. Remember that it is infrequently found - in no way impossible to encounter. There are actually a number of motor vehicles that don't stand any amount of fuel contamination in the slightest.
   2. Somewhere between 2.75 and 5.5 litres of Diesel in the Ford (5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 scenario. Our experience has demonstrated that as many people get away with this as those people who break down. Any time you are deciding whether to chance it and just fill it up remember that it is the same thing as wagering it all on black - you have got a 50/50 possibility of it working.
   3. Anything in excess of 5.5 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Focus ST ought to straightaway be drained out since your probability of getting away with that amount of contamination is in all likelihood lower than one in fifty - extremely huge odds.
2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Ford and drove it: Have you spotted any performance problems after putting the incorrect fuel in your Focus ST? In that case, have it removed regardless of the amount of Diesel or the contamination percentage. Continually running a motor vehicle that is already starting to suffer the consequences of fuel contamination can definitely result in more and more harm being done to your fuel system.
3. Do you need peace of mind?
   Then simply just get it emptied. Regardless of contamination percentage, there is invariably some amount of threat affiliated with running a Petrol motor on Petrol contaminated with the incorrect fuel. Likely consequences of driving on the incorrect fuel normally include the motor not starting, running unevenly, decrease in power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, damaged or blocked injectors, and so on. These are some of the commonest Diesel in Petrol signs or symptoms, and if you notice any of them stop and have it removed right now.
