Incorrect fuel in a Alfa Romeo 166? Diesel in a Petrol Alfa Romeo?

ABOUT

Putting Diesel in a Petrol Alfa Romeo is a very common problem. And its remedy is determined by several things. In case you would like to know what to do about it then stay with me.
Right here are the key factors to think about when determining whether to have a fuel drain:

1. What level of Diesel have you put in the Alfa Romeo, taking into account that the fuel tank capacity of your Alfa Romeo 166 is normally about 72 litres?
   1. A small amount of Diesel, less than 3.6 litres of Diesel in a Petrol 166 will in most cases not be a big problem. Experience has shown us that anything less than 3.6 litres (5% of the entire fuel tank capacity) is often able to be completely diluted simply by completely topping up the remainder of the tank with the appropriate fuel.
      It's very rare to find an automobile going through difficulties because of less than 5% wrong fuel contamination. Do not forget that it is very unusual - definitely not impossible to encounter. You will discover some vehicles that don't endure any degree of contamination in the slightest.
   2. In between 3.6 and 7.2 litres of Diesel in the Alfa Romeo (from 5 to 10%) is a 50/50 condition. Our experience has shown us that as many drivers get away with this as those people who don't. When figuring out whether to chance it and just simply fill it up bear in mind that it is exactly like gambling it all on black - you have a 50/50 possibility of it being ok.
   3. Anything above 7.2 litres of Diesel in your Petrol 166 really should straight away be drained out seeing as your probability of driving with that level of contamination is in all likelihood below one in 50 - genuinely big odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Alfa Romeo and drove it: Have you seen any kind of performance concerns since putting the bad fuel in your 166? If you have, get it removed no matter the quantity of Diesel or even the contamination percentage. Proceeding to drive running an automobile that is now beginning to suffer from the effect of wrong fuel contamination will only lead to increasing amounts of damage being caused to the fuel system parts.
3. Would you like security?
   Then simply just get it emptied. No matter the contamination percentage, there is invariably some amount of threat associated with operating a Petrol engine on fuel contaminated with the wrong fuel. Possible implications of driving on the wrong fuel include the engine refusing to start, running unevenly, loss of power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, damaged or clogged injectors, and the like. These are several of the most frequently seen Diesel in Petrol signs and symptoms, and in the event that you notice any of them stop and have it removed right away.
