Incorrect fuel in a Mazda 121 L? Diesel in a Petrol Mazda?

ABOUT

Filling up with Diesel in a Petrol Mazda is a regular problem. And exactly what you want to do about it will depend on a few factors. If you want to know what you have to do to sort it out then keep on reading.
Here are the main variables to consider when determining whether to get a fuel drain:

1. What amount of Diesel have you put in to the Mazda, taking into account that the fuel tank capacity of your Mazda 121 L is probably around 43 litres?
   1. A modest amount of Diesel, something like 2.15 litres of Diesel in a Petrol 121 L will in most cases not really be a massive problem. Experience has taught us that anything under 2.15 litres (which is about 5% of the overall fuel tank) is in many instances able to be sufficiently diluted by means of entirely topping up the remainder of the tank with the right fuel.
      It is pretty uncommon to encounter a car suffering from difficulties due to below 5% wrong fuel contamination. Bear in mind that it is infrequently found - not impossible to find. There are actually a few cars that will not endure any degree of contamination at all.
   2. Somewhere between 2.15 and 4.3 litres of Diesel in the Mazda (from 5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 scenario. Our experience demonstrates that as many people get away with it as those who don't. Whenever you are trying to decide whether to chance it and basically fill it up consider that it is the same as betting it all on black - you have got a 50/50 possibility of it being ok.
   3. Anything more than 4.3 litres of Diesel in a Petrol 121 L should right away be drained since your probability of succeeding with this level of contamination is more than likely lower than one in fifty - definitely big odds.
2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Mazda and drove it: Have you seen any kind of performance issues after putting the bad fuel in the 121 L? If that's the case, get it drained regardless of the amount of Diesel or the contamination ratio. Proceeding to drive running a vehicle that is already starting to suffer from the consequences of fuel contamination will only lead to more and more harm being caused to the fuel system parts.
3. Do you want reassurance?
   Then simply just get it removed. Regardless of the contamination percentage, there is inevitably some amount of danger linked with running a Petrol motor on fuel contaminated with the incorrect fuel. Likely results of driving on the incorrect fuel include things like the motor not starting, running lumpy, reduced power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, damaged or clogged injectors, and so on. These are several of the most common Diesel in Petrol symptoms, and should you observe any of them cease driving and have it drained right now.
