Wrong fuel in a Ford Puma? Diesel in a Petrol Ford?

ABOUT

Putting Diesel in a Petrol Ford is a usual mistake. And its remedy is dependent upon several factors. In the event that you want to know what you have to do about it then read on.
These are the most important factors to keep in mind whenever choosing whether or not to get the car drained:

1. What amount of Diesel have you put in the Ford, taking into consideration that the fuel tank capacity of your Ford Puma is in most cases about 40 litres?
   1. A modest quantity of Diesel, something like 2 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Puma will generally not be a major problem. Experience has taught us that anything less than 2 litres (which is roughly 5% of the total fuel tank) is in many instances able to be adequately diluted by means of completely topping up the rest of the tank with the right fuel.
      It is pretty rare to encounter a car or truck experiencing problems due to below 5% wrong fuel contamination. Please remember it's infrequently found - definitely not impossible to find. You can get a number of motor vehicles that will not stand any level of contamination at all.
   2. Anywhere between 2 and 4 litres of Diesel in the Ford (from 5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 scenario. Our expertise has demonstrated that as many motorists get away with this as those people who break down. Any time you are deciding upon whether to chance it and just simply top it up consider that it is just like betting your car on black - you will have a 50/50 chance of it being ok.
   3. Anything in excess of 4 litres of Diesel in your Petrol Puma ought to straightaway be drained out as your likelihood of getting away with that amount of contamination is in all likelihood below one in 50 - extremely huge odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Ford and drove it: Have you noticed any kind of performance issues ever since putting the incorrect fuel in the Puma? In that case, get it emptied irrespective of the volume of Diesel or the contamination ratio. Continuing to drive driving a vehicle that is beginning to suffer the consequences of fuel contamination will probably likely bring about increasing amounts of damage being caused to the fuel system.
3. Are you interested in security?
   Then get it removed. No matter the contamination percentage, there is inevitably some amount of threat resulting from driving a Petrol engine on Petrol contaminated with the wrong fuel. Possible implications of driving on the wrong fuel include the motor refusing to start, running unevenly, loss in power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn or clogged injectors, and so forth. These are several of the most common Diesel in Petrol signs or symptoms, and in the event that you detect any of them then stop driving and have it drained right away.
