Incorrect fuel in a Porsche 911 Carrera? Diesel in your Petrol Porsche?

ABOUT

Putting Diesel in a Petrol Porsche is a well-known mistake. And what you need to do about it will depend on a variety of factors. In case you want to find out what you should do to fix it then keep on reading.
Let us discuss the most crucial variables to think about when deciding whether to have your car drained:

1. What amount of Diesel did you put in to the Porsche, taking into consideration that the fuel tank capacity of the Porsche 911 Carrera is normally roughly 64 litres?
   1. A tiny quantity of Diesel, less than 3.2 litres of Diesel in a Petrol 911 Carrera will usually not be a significant problem. Experience has taught us that anything under 3.2 litres (which is approximately 5% of the total fuel tank) is usually able to be completely diluted simply by completely filling up the rest of the tank with the correct fuel.
      It is quite unusual to come across a motor vehicle having difficulties due to less than 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Please remember it is very infrequently found - in no way impossible to encounter. There are certain cars that will not stand any quantity of fuel contamination whatsoever.
   2. Anywhere between 3.2 and 6.4 litres of Diesel in the Porsche (from 5 to 10%) is a 50/50 situation. Our expertise has demonstrated that as many motorists get away with this as all those who don't. Any time you are figuring out whether or not to chance it and basically top it up bear in mind that it is exactly like gambling your car on black - you have got a 50/50 chance of it working.
   3. Anything more than 6.4 litres of Diesel in a Petrol 911 Carrera ought to as soon as possible be removed since your probability of getting away with that level of contamination is almost certainly lower than one in fifty - extremely huge odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Porsche and drove it: Have you spotted any kind of performance concerns as a result of putting the wrong fuel in your 911 Carrera? If so, get it drained regardless of the volume of Diesel or the contamination ratio. Continuing to run driving a motor vehicle that is currently beginning to suffer from the effects of wrong fuel contamination can just be responsible for progressively more harm affecting the fuel system parts.
3. Would you like reassurance?
   In that case get it removed. Whatever the contamination percentage, there is always some amount of threat associated with driving a Petrol engine on Petrol contaminated with the wrong fuel. Possible results 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 bunged injectors, etc. These are several of the commonest Diesel in Petrol warning signs, and if you recognise any of them stop and have it removed immediately.
