Wrong fuel in a Ford Mondeo? Diesel in your Petrol Ford?

ABOUT

Putting Diesel in a Petrol Ford is a well-known error. And what you should do about it is determined by a number of factors. If you want to know what you have to do to fix it then keep reading.
Listed here are the most important variables to be aware of when deciding on whether to have your car drained:

1. How much Diesel have you put in to the Ford, considering that the fuel tank capacity of your Ford Mondeo is normally roughly 70 litres?
   1. A tiny amount of Diesel, something like 3.5 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Mondeo will in most situations not really be a huge problem. Experience has proven to us that an amount less than 3.5 litres (close to 5% of the entire fuel tank) is usually able to be completely diluted through totally topping up the rest of the tank with Petrol.
      It is extremely unusual to find a vehicle having difficulties because of lower than 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Please remember it's infrequently found - in no way impossible to encounter. You can get a few vehicles that don't stand any amount of fuel contamination in the slightest.
   2. Between 3.5 and 7 litres of Diesel in the Ford (5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 condition. Our practical experience has shown us that as many motorists get away with it as those people who break down. Whenever you are deciding whether or not to chance it and just simply top it up recognise that it is exactly like wagering all of it on black - you have a 50/50 possibility of it working out.
   3. Anything more than 7 litres of Diesel in your Petrol Mondeo should promptly be drained out seeing as your probability of driving with this quantity of contamination is almost certainly lower than one in 50 - really huge odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Ford and drove it: Have you noted any kind of performance concerns since putting the wrong fuel in your Mondeo? If so, get it drained no matter the volume of Diesel or the contamination ratio. Continuing to run running an automobile that is currently starting to suffer the effect of fuel contamination can typically end up in more and more damage affecting the fuel system.
3. Do you need security?
   In that case get it removed. Whatever the contamination ratio, there is always some degree of threat linked with operating a Petrol engine on Petrol contaminated with Diesel. Likely implications of driving a car on the wrong fuel can include the engine refusing to start, running lumpy, decrease in power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn out or blocked injectors, and the like. These are some of the commonest Diesel in Petrol signs or symptoms, and in the event that you detect any of them stop and have it drained asap.
