Wrong fuel in a Rover 620 SDi? Petrol in a Diesel Rover?

ABOUT

Filling up with Petrol in a Diesel Rover is a well-known problem. And its solution varies according to a number of factors. If you would like to know what you have to do about it then continue reading.
Listed here the key factors to be aware of whenever determining whether to get a fuel drain:

1. Exactly how much Petrol did you put into the Rover, bearing in mind that the fuel tank capacity of the Rover 620 SDi is normally around 65 litres?
   1. A modest amount of Petrol, something like 3.25 litres of Petrol in a Diesel 620 SDi will most of the time not be a significant problem. Experience has taught us that quantities under 3.25 litres (5% of the fuel tank volume) is generally capable of being sufficiently diluted by means of completely topping the rest of the tank with Diesel.
      It's relatively rare to encounter a car experiencing issues because of below 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Remember that it's infrequently found - certainly not impossible to encounter. There are certain motor vehicles that will not endure any amount of contamination in the slightest.
   2. In between 3.25 and 6.5 litres of Petrol in the Rover (5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 situation. Our working experience demonstrates that as many drivers get away with it as those people who don't. Whenever you are deciding on whether or not to risk it and just fill it up remember that it is the same thing as wagering all of it on black - you've got a 50/50 possibility of it working out.
   3. Anything in excess of 6.5 litres of Petrol in your Diesel 620 SDi should really straight away be removed seeing as your likelihood of getting away with that level of contamination is certainly lower than one in fifty - definitely huge odds.
2. Put some Petrol in a Diesel Rover and drove it: Have you seen any performance difficulties ever since putting the incorrect fuel in the 620 SDi? In that case, have it emptied no matter the quantity of Petrol or the contamination ratio. Continuing to drive driving a car that is currently beginning to suffer the consequences of wrong fuel contamination will just cause increasing amounts of harm affecting your fuel system components.
3. Are you looking for reassurance?
   Then get it emptied. Whatever the contamination ratio, there is always a certain level of threat caused by running a Diesel vehicle on fuel contaminated with the incorrect fuel. Possible results of driving a car on the incorrect fuel normally include the engine refusing to start, running unevenly, lack of power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn out or clogged injectors, etc. These are some of the most common Petrol in Diesel warning signs, and should you detect any of them then cease driving and get it removed immediately.
