ABOUT

Filling Petrol in a Diesel Fiat is a very common mistake to make. And what you have to do about it is based on several different things. In the event that you would like to find out what you have to do to fix it then please read on.
Right here are the key factors to think about whenever making a decision whether to get a fuel drain:

1. Exactly how much Petrol have you put into the Fiat, keeping in mind that the fuel capacity of the Fiat Grande Punto Multijet is normally about 45 litres?
   1. Hardly any Petrol, as little as 2.25 litres of Petrol in a Diesel Grande Punto Multijet will most of the time not be a big problem. Experience has proven to us that quantities less than 2.25 litres (which is almost 5% of the total fuel tank capacity) is generally capable of being adequately diluted by means of entirely filling up the tank with Diesel.
      It's highly rare to encounter a motor vehicle having issues due to lower than 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Keep in mind it is very infrequent - not impossible to find. You will discover a few vehicles that will not endure any amount of fuel contamination in the slightest.
   2. Anywhere between 2.25 and 4.5 litres of Petrol in the Fiat (from 5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 scenario. Our practical experience demonstrates that as many people get away with it as those who break down. Any time you are deciding on whether to chance it and just simply top it up consider that it is the same as betting everything on black - you have a 50/50 possibility of it working out.
   3. Anything in excess of 4.5 litres of Petrol in your Diesel Grande Punto Multijet should really right away be drained out seeing that your probability of getting away with that quantity of contamination is undoubtedly less than one in 50 - seriously big odds.
2. Put some Petrol in a Diesel Fiat and drove it: Have you spotted any kind of performance troubles ever since putting the wrong fuel in your Grande Punto Multijet? If that's the case, get it drained no matter the volume of Petrol or the contamination percentage. Proceeding to run running a motor vehicle that is now beginning to suffer the consequences of fuel contamination can typically cause increasing amounts of harm being done to the fuel system.
3. Do you need assurance?
   Then get it removed. Whatever the contamination percentage, there is always a certain level of danger affiliated with operating a Diesel motor on Diesel contaminated with the incorrect fuel. Possible implications of driving on the incorrect fuel can include the engine not starting, running lumpy, reduced power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn out or blocked injectors, etc. These are several of the most frequently seen Petrol in Diesel signs or symptoms, and in the event that you observe any of them then stop driving and have it removed right now.
