Incorrect fuel in your Alfa Romeo 4C? Diesel in your Petrol Alfa Romeo?

ABOUT

Putting Diesel in a Petrol Alfa Romeo is a well-known mistake. And its remedy varies according to various factors. In case you would like to know what to do to fix it then keep reading.
Here are the most important factors to keep in mind when figuring out whether or not to have it drained:

1. How much Diesel did you put into the Alfa Romeo, bearing in mind that the fuel capacity of the Alfa Romeo 4C is normally approximately 40 litres?
   1. A tiny amount of Diesel, less than 2 litres of Diesel in a Petrol 4C will generally not be a massive problem. Experience has taught us that an amount under 2 litres (which is roughly 5% of the whole fuel tank) is usually capable of being adequately diluted by means of entirely filling the remainder of the tank with Petrol.
      It's relatively rare to encounter a vehicle having problems with below 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Be aware that it is unusual - in no way impossible to encounter. You will discover certain automobiles that will not endure any amount of fuel contamination at all.
   2. Somewhere between 2 and 4 litres of Diesel in the Alfa Romeo (5 to 10%) is a 50/50 scenario. Our practical experience has proven that as many motorists get away with this as all those who break down. Any time you are figuring out whether to risk it and basically top it up remember that it is exactly like gambling it all on black - you have got a 50/50 chance of it being ok.
   3. Anything in excess of 4 litres of Diesel in a Petrol 4C should as soon as possible be drained seeing as your likelihood of driving with this level of contamination is very likely lower than one in fifty - genuinely big odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Alfa Romeo and drove it: Have you observed any performance concerns since putting the incorrect fuel in your 4C? If you have, have it emptied regardless of the quantity of Diesel or the contamination percentage. Proceeding to drive driving a motor vehicle that is beginning to suffer the consequences of fuel contamination will likely result in progressively more damage affecting the fuel system components.
3. Are you looking for reassurance?
   Then simply just get it removed. Regardless of the contamination ratio, there is inevitably a certain level of threat linked with operating a Petrol vehicle on Petrol contaminated with the incorrect fuel. Probable results of driving a vehicle on the wrong fuel normally include the motor not starting, running unevenly, loss of power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn out or blocked injectors, and so forth. These are a few of the most frequently seen Diesel in Petrol signs or symptoms, and should you observe any of them stop and get it removed immediately.
