Contaminated fuel in a Alfa Romeo Giulietta JTDM? Petrol in your Diesel Alfa Romeo?

ABOUT

Filling Petrol in a Diesel Alfa Romeo is a usual mistake. And what you need to do about it is determined by a number of factors. In case you want to know what you ought to do about it then stay with me.
Let us discuss the main variables to consider whenever deciding on whether to get a fuel drain:

1. What amount of Petrol have you put in to the Alfa Romeo, taking into account that the fuel capacity of your Alfa Romeo Giulietta JTDM is normally approximately 60 litres?
   1. A small quantity of Petrol, as little as 3 litres of Petrol in a Diesel Giulietta JTDM will generally not be a huge problem. Experience has taught us that quantities less than 3 litres (which is about 5% of the total fuel tank capacity) is oftentimes capable of being completely diluted simply by completely filling the remainder of the tank with Diesel.
      It is quite uncommon to encounter a car having issues due to below 5% wrong fuel contamination. Bear in mind that it is unusual - definitely not impossible to encounter. You will discover some cars that don't endure any level of contamination in the slightest.
   2. Anywhere between 3 and 6 litres of Petrol in the Alfa Romeo (from 5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 scenario. Our practical experience has proven that as many motorists get away with this as all those who don't. Whenever deciding whether to risk it and simply fill it up consider that it is the same thing as gambling it all on black - you have got a 50/50 possibility of it being ok.
   3. Anything above 6 litres of Petrol in a Diesel Giulietta JTDM should really straightaway be drained out because your probability of getting away with this amount of contamination is probably less than one in fifty - genuinely huge odds.
2. Put Petrol in a Diesel Alfa Romeo and drove it: Have you seen any kind of performance concerns ever since putting the wrong fuel in your Giulietta JTDM? In that case, get it removed no matter the amount of Petrol or even the contamination ratio. Continuing to run running a motor vehicle that is now beginning to suffer from the consequences of fuel contamination can only cause more and more harm being caused to your fuel system parts.
3. Would you like assurance?
   Then simply just get it drained. Whatever the contamination percentage, there is always some amount of risk linked with driving a Diesel motor on Diesel contaminated with Petrol. Likely implications of driving on the wrong fuel include things like the engine refusing to start, running lumpy, loss in power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn or clogged injectors, etc. These are several of the most common Petrol in Diesel warning signs, and should you detect any of them stop driving and get it drained asap.
