Incorrect fuel in a Ford Orion? Diesel in a Petrol Ford?

ABOUT

Filling up with Diesel in a Petrol Ford is a usual mistake. And exactly what you have to do about it hinges on several different factors. In the event that you want to find out what you should do to fix it then read on.
Here are the most important factors to be aware of when deciding whether to have your car drained:

1. How much Diesel did you put in the Ford, considering that the fuel tank capacity of the Ford Orion is in most cases around 55 litres?
   1. A tiny amount of Diesel, as little as 2.75 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Orion will quite often not be a significant problem. Experience has demonstrated to us that anything under 2.75 litres (almost 5% of the whole fuel tank) is often able to be sufficiently diluted by wholly topping the tank with the appropriate fuel.
      It's quite rare to encounter a vehicle experiencing problems because of below 5% wrong fuel contamination. Keep in mind that it is very uncommon - certainly not impossible to encounter. You can get a few motor vehicles that don't stand any amount of fuel contamination whatsoever.
   2. Somewhere between 2.75 and 5.5 litres of Diesel in the Ford (from 5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 condition. Our expertise has shown us that as many people get away with it as those people who break down. Whenever you are deciding whether or not to chance it and just fill it up bear in mind that it is very much like gambling it all on black - you will have a 50/50 possibility of it working out.
   3. Anything in excess of 5.5 litres of Diesel in your Petrol Orion should promptly be drained since your probability of driving with this quantity of contamination is more than likely below one in 50 - extremely long odds.
2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Ford and drove it: Have you observed any kind of performance concerns since putting the bad fuel in your Orion? If so, get it drained regardless of the quantity of Diesel or the contamination percentage. Continually driving a vehicle that is beginning to suffer the effects of wrong fuel contamination will probably only bring about even more damage affecting your fuel system parts.
3. Do you need reassurance?
   Simply get it emptied. No matter the contamination ratio, there is invariably some degree of danger linked with running a Petrol motor on fuel contaminated with Diesel. Likely final outcomes of driving on the incorrect fuel include the motor refusing to start, running unevenly, lack of power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn or blocked injectors, and so on. These are a few of the most frequently seen Diesel in Petrol signs and symptoms, and should you recognise any of them then stop and have it removed immediately.
