ABOUT

Filling Diesel in a Petrol Mazda is a regularly occurring mistake. And exactly what you have to do about it depends upon several different things. In the event that you would like to find out what you have to do about this then keep on reading.
Here are the main variables to be aware of whenever making a decision whether or not to have the car drained:

1. What level of Diesel have you put into the Mazda, taking into consideration that the fuel capacity of your Mazda MPV is probably around 70 litres?
   1. A small amount of Diesel, something like 3.5 litres of Diesel in a Petrol MPV will in most cases not be a massive problem. Experience has taught us that anything under 3.5 litres (roughly 5% of the entire fuel tank capacity) is sometimes able to be adequately diluted by means of wholly topping up the tank with the correct fuel.
      It's extremely unusual to encounter a motor vehicle having difficulties due to below 5% wrong fuel contamination. Keep in mind it is uncommon - definitely not impossible to find. There are certain cars that won't stand any quantity of fuel contamination at all.
   2. In between 3.5 and 7 litres of Diesel in the Mazda (5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 situation. Our expertise has demonstrated that as many drivers get away with this as those who break down. Whenever deciding whether to chance it and basically fill it up remember that it is the same as betting everything on black - you have got a 50/50 possibility of it working out.
   3. Anything in excess of 7 litres of Diesel in your Petrol MPV ought to as soon as possible be drained seeing that your probability of driving with this level of contamination is undoubtedly below one in 50 - really long odds.
2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Mazda and drove it: Have you detected any kind of performance troubles since putting the incorrect fuel in your MPV? If that's the case, have it drained irrespective of the volume of Diesel or the contamination ratio. Proceeding to drive driving a motor vehicle that is currently starting to suffer the effect of wrong fuel contamination can typically be responsible for increasing amounts of damage affecting your fuel system components.
3. Do you want peace of mind?
   In that case get it removed. Whatever the contamination percentage, there is always some degree of threat associated with operating a Petrol motor on Petrol contaminated with Diesel. Likely results of driving a vehicle on the incorrect fuel can include the motor not starting, running unevenly, loss in power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn out or bunged injectors, and so on. These are a few of the commonest Diesel in Petrol signs or symptoms, and if you recognise any of them then stop and get it removed right now.
