Mazda Fuel Drain

ABOUT

Putting Diesel in a Petrol Mazda is a well-known mistake. And its solution is based on several different factors. If perhaps you want to find out what you ought to do to fix it then stay with me.
Listed below are the most crucial factors to keep in mind whenever choosing whether or not to have your car drained:

  1. What amount of Diesel have you put into the Mazda, keeping in mind that the fuel tank capacity of your Mazda Cx-7 is in most cases approximately 69 litres?
    1. A tiny quantity of Diesel, as little as 3.45 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Cx-7 will typically not really be a big problem. Experience has proven to us that an amount under 3.45 litres (close to 5% of the whole fuel tank) is usually able to be adequately diluted simply by thoroughly topping up the tank with Petrol.
      It's quite rare to find a car or truck having problems due to lower than 5% wrong fuel contamination. Please remember it is rare - certainly not impossible to encounter. There are some cars that don't endure any level of contamination at all.
    2. Anywhere between 3.45 and 6.9 litres of Diesel in the Mazda (from 5 to 10%) is a 50/50 situation. Our expertise has proven that as many motorists get away with it as those who break down. Any time you are deciding upon whether to risk it and basically top it up remember that it is exactly like betting all of it on black - you will have a 50/50 possibility of it being ok.
    3. Anything above 6.9 litres of Diesel in your Petrol Cx-7 really should as soon as possible be drained seeing as your probability of driving with that amount of contamination is almost certainly lower than one in 50 - genuinely huge odds.
  2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Mazda and drove it: Have you noted any kind of performance problems since putting the incorrect fuel in the Cx-7? If that's the case, get it drained irrespective of the volume of Diesel or the contamination percentage. Proceeding to drive driving a car that is currently starting to suffer the consequences of wrong fuel contamination can only end up in increasing amounts of harm affecting your fuel system components.
  3. Would you like assurance?
    In that case get it removed. Regardless of the contamination percentage, there is always some extent of risk linked with driving a Petrol vehicle on fuel contaminated with Diesel. Probable consequences of driving on the incorrect fuel include the motor not starting, running unevenly, reduced power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn or blocked injectors, and the like. These are some of the most typical Diesel in Petrol symptoms, and if you detect any of them stop and have it removed asap.

Diesel in Petrol FAQs

When someone has put Diesel in a Petrol car they have a few very common questions. So we have compiled a list of the most Frequently Asked Questions for you

I put Diesel in a Petrol car and drove it. What do I do?

Answer

Turn off the car as soon as possible and call us. Continuing to run a vehicle on the wrong fuel can potentially damage it. We will be able to give you advice and assistance based on your circumstances

Will driving a Petrol car on Diesel cause damage to it?

Answer

It can. However, if the problem is caught and remedied quickly the risks will be minimal. Of the 1,500 vehicles we attend every month, less than 0.5% have suffered and substantial damage requiring parts replacement.

How much Diesel can I get away with in a Petrol car?

Answer

The safe answer is none. However you might be able to get away with a very low contamination ratio. That being said, we always highly recommend draining anything over a 5% contamination ratio asap.

I know about petrol in diesel, but what about Super Unleaded?

Answer

Putting Super Unleaded, or Shell V-Power, BP Ultimate Unleaded, etc, will have the exact same effect as putting regular unleaded petrol in your diesel car and will need to be drained out and flushed.

Will getting you to do a fuel drain void my warranty?

Answer

No! The EU Block Exemption Regulations clearly state that "the work can be carried out by as long as that garage uses manufacturer approved parts and correctly follows the manufacturer's service schedule."

Can I top it up with Petrol and add some 2-stroke oil?

Answer

This might work on some vehicles in some cases, but in the majority on instances it won't and you risk damaging the Lambda sensors as well as fuel pump and injectors, just as a regular misfuel.
