Bad fuel in your Mitsubishi Santamo? Diesel in a Petrol Mitsubishi?

ABOUT

Putting Diesel in a Petrol Mitsubishi is a fairly typical mistake to make. And what you want to do about it varies according to several factors. In case you would like to find out what it is advisable to do to sort it out then stay with me.
These are the most important factors to consider whenever figuring out whether or not to get a fuel drain:

1. How much Diesel have you put in the Mitsubishi, keeping in mind that the fuel tank capacity of the Mitsubishi Santamo is normally around 60 litres?
   1. A modest amount of Diesel, less than 3 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Santamo will more often than not not necessarily be a huge problem. Experience has taught us that anything under 3 litres (which is close to 5% of the overall fuel tank) is in many instances capable of being completely diluted by totally topping the rest of the tank with the correct fuel.
      It's highly unusual to come across a car suffering from issues because of less than 5% wrong fuel contamination. Keep in mind that it's uncommon - certainly not impossible to encounter. You can get a number of motor vehicles that will not stand any degree of contamination whatsoever.
   2. In between 3 and 6 litres of Diesel in the Mitsubishi (5 to 10%) is a 50/50 scenario. Our working experience has proven that as many drivers get away with this as those people who break down. Any time you are trying to decide whether or not to risk it and just fill it up consider that it is exactly like betting your car on black - you've got a 50/50 possibility of it working.
   3. Anything above 6 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Santamo ought to straight away be drained out as your probability of succeeding with this quantity of contamination is certainly less than one in fifty - genuinely huge odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Mitsubishi and drove it: Have you seen any performance problems ever since putting the wrong fuel in the Santamo? If so, have it emptied irrespective of the quantity of Diesel or the contamination percentage. Proceeding to run driving an automobile that is already starting to suffer from the effect of wrong fuel contamination will probably just end up in progressively more damage being caused to your fuel system parts.
3. Are you interested in peace of mind?
   You should get it emptied. Whatever the contamination ratio, there is always some degree of danger connected with running a Petrol vehicle on fuel contaminated with Diesel. Likely outcomes of driving a car on the wrong fuel can include the motor refusing to start, running lumpy, decrease in power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn or blocked injectors, and the like. These are a few of the most frequently seen Diesel in Petrol warning signs, and in the event that you detect any of them stop and get it removed asap.
