Contaminated fuel in a Ford Fusion TDCi? Petrol in your Diesel Ford?

ABOUT

Filling Petrol in a Diesel Ford is a very common error. And what you should do about it varies according to a few factors. In the event that you want to know what you have to do to sort it out then stay with me.
Let us discuss the most important factors to be aware of whenever determining whether or not to get a fuel drain:

1. Exactly how much Petrol have you put in the Ford, taking into consideration that the fuel tank capacity of the Ford Fusion TDCi is probably around 45 litres?
   1. A modest amount of Petrol, something like 2.25 litres of Petrol in a Diesel Fusion TDCi will in most situations not be a huge problem. Experience has taught us that an amount less than 2.25 litres (close to 5% of the entire fuel tank) is frequently able to be completely diluted by means of wholly filling the remainder of the tank with the right fuel.
      It is quite rare to come across a car having problems with below 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Keep in mind it's uncommon - not impossible to encounter. You can get some vehicles that won't endure any amount of contamination at all.
   2. Between 2.25 and 4.5 litres of Petrol in the Ford (from 5 to 10%) is a 50/50 situation. Our expertise has shown that as many motorists get away with it as those people who don't. Whenever you are trying to decide whether or not to risk it and just simply fill it up bear in mind that it is exactly like gambling all of it on black - you've got a 50/50 chance of it working out.
   3. Anything more than 4.5 litres of Petrol in a Diesel Fusion TDCi ought to as soon as possible be removed since your likelihood of getting away with that amount of contamination is more than likely lower than one in 50 - truly long odds.
2. Put some Petrol in a Diesel Ford and drove it: Have you detected any performance troubles ever since putting the bad fuel in the Fusion TDCi? In that case, have it drained regardless of the quantity of Petrol or even the contamination percentage. Continuing to run running an automobile that is starting to suffer from the consequences of fuel contamination will probably typically result in more and more damage affecting the fuel system parts.
3. Are you looking for reassurance?
   In that case get it removed. Whatever the contamination ratio, there is inevitably some amount of risk resulting from driving a Diesel engine on fuel contaminated with the wrong fuel. Probable consequences of driving on the incorrect fuel can include the engine not starting, running lumpy, losing power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn out or bunged injectors, and so on. These are several of the most frequently seen Petrol in Diesel signs and symptoms, and in the event that you detect any of them stop and get it drained asap.
