Incorrect fuel in your Renault Sport Spider? Diesel in your Petrol Renault?

ABOUT

Filling Diesel in a Petrol Renault is a well-known problem. And what you need to do about it is determined by several things. In the event that you would like to find out what it is best to do to fix it then read on.
Listed here the most important factors to take into account when figuring out whether or not to get your car drained:

1. What level of Diesel did you put into the Renault, taking into account that the fuel capacity of the Renault Sport Spider is usually around 50 litres?
   1. A modest quantity of Diesel, something like 2.5 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Sport Spider will more often than not not necessarily be a huge problem. Experience has shown us that quantities less than 2.5 litres (which is about 5% of the overall fuel tank) is oftentimes capable of being adequately diluted by thoroughly topping up the remainder of the tank with the appropriate fuel.
      It is rather uncommon to come across a car or truck experiencing issues with less than 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Remember that it is infrequent - not impossible to find. You can get a few cars that will not stand any level of fuel contamination whatsoever.
   2. Between 2.5 and 5 litres of Diesel in the Renault (5 to 10%) is a 50/50 situation. Our working experience demonstrates that as many motorists get away with this as those who break down. When deciding whether or not to risk it and just simply top it up bear in mind that it is exactly like wagering your car on black - you have a 50/50 possibility of it working out.
   3. Anything over 5 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Sport Spider ought to immediately be drained as your probability of driving with that level of contamination is very likely less than one in 50 - seriously long odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Renault and drove it: Have you noticed any performance difficulties since putting the wrong fuel in your Sport Spider? If so, get it emptied no matter the volume of Diesel or even the contamination percentage. Continually running a car that is now beginning to suffer from the effect of fuel contamination will probably definitely be responsible for more and more harm affecting the fuel system components.
3. Would you like reassurance?
   In that case get it emptied. Whatever the contamination ratio, there is inevitably some amount of threat affiliated with driving a Petrol engine on fuel contaminated with the wrong fuel. Possible outcomes of driving a car on the wrong fuel include things like the engine not starting, running unevenly, loss of power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn out or clogged injectors, etc. These are several of the most frequently seen Diesel in Petrol signs and symptoms, and should you observe any of them stop and get it drained asap.
