Incorrect fuel in your Mitsubishi Galant TD? Petrol in a Diesel Mitsubishi?

ABOUT

Putting Petrol in a Diesel Mitsubishi is a common error. And what you need to do about it depends on several factors. If you would like to find out what you ought to do about this then stay with me.
Here are the main factors to to consider when deciding whether or not to get your car drained:

1. Exactly how much Petrol have you put in to the Mitsubishi, bearing in mind that the fuel capacity of your Mitsubishi Galant TD is probably approximately 64 litres?
   1. A small amount of Petrol, as little as 3.2 litres of Petrol in a Diesel Galant TD will normally not really be a huge problem. Experience has shown us that an amount less than 3.2 litres (close to 5% of the total fuel tank volume) is often able to be adequately diluted through entirely topping up the rest of the tank with the correct fuel.
      It's relatively uncommon to encounter a car going through difficulties because of below 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Bear in mind that it is infrequent - not impossible to find. You will discover a few automobiles that won't endure any quantity of fuel contamination whatsoever.
   2. Somewhere between 3.2 and 6.4 litres of Petrol in the Mitsubishi (from 5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 scenario. Our working experience has revealed that as many motorists get away with this as all those who break down. Whenever deciding on whether to risk it and just top it up remember that it is the same thing as betting your car on black - you have got a 50/50 chance of it being ok.
   3. Anything in excess of 6.4 litres of Petrol in your Diesel Galant TD really should straight away be drained out seeing that your likelihood of getting away with this quantity of contamination is almost certainly lower than one in 50 - extremely huge odds.
2. Put Petrol in a Diesel Mitsubishi and drove it: Have you seen any kind of performance problems since putting the incorrect fuel in the Galant TD? If so, get it emptied irrespective of the amount of Petrol or even the contamination percentage. Proceeding to run running an automobile that is already starting to suffer the effect of fuel contamination will likely result in more and more harm affecting the fuel system.
3. Do you need assurance?
   You should get it emptied. Regardless of contamination percentage, there is invariably a certain level of threat connected with driving a Diesel motor on Diesel contaminated with Petrol. Possible consequences of driving a car on the wrong fuel can include the motor not starting, running lumpy, loss in power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn or clogged injectors, and the like. These are some of the most common Petrol in Diesel warning signs, and in the event that you detect any of them stop and get it drained asap.
