Bad fuel in your Alfa Romeo 8C? Diesel in your Petrol Alfa Romeo?

ABOUT

Putting Diesel in a Petrol Alfa Romeo is a regularly occurring mistake to make. And its remedy is dependent upon several things. Assuming you would like to know what it is advisable to do to fix it then keep reading.
These are the most important variables to to consider whenever determining whether to have a fuel drain:

1. What amount of Diesel have you put into the Alfa Romeo, taking into consideration that the fuel tank capacity of the Alfa Romeo 8C is most likely around 88 litres?
   1. A tiny amount of Diesel, less than 4.4 litres of Diesel in a Petrol 8C will most of the time not necessarily be a big problem. Experience has demonstrated to us that an amount less than 4.4 litres (close to 5% of the entire fuel tank) is frequently able to be completely diluted through wholly topping up the remainder of the tank with Petrol.
      It is very unusual to encounter an automobile having issues because of below 5% wrong fuel contamination. Keep in mind it is very infrequently found - definitely not impossible to find. There are actually a number of cars that won't stand any amount of fuel contamination at all.
   2. Somewhere between 4.4 and 8.8 litres of Diesel in the Alfa Romeo (from 5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 condition. Our experience has shown that as many people get away with this as all those who break down. Whenever you are figuring out whether to risk it and just simply top it up consider that it is the same as betting all of it on black - you have a 50/50 chance of it working out.
   3. Anything above 8.8 litres of Diesel in your Petrol 8C must straightaway be drained as your probability of succeeding with that level of contamination is certainly less than one in fifty - truly huge odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Alfa Romeo and drove it: Have you noted any performance issues since putting the incorrect fuel in the 8C? In that case, get it drained regardless of the amount of Diesel or even the contamination percentage. Continuing to drive running a vehicle that is now beginning to suffer the effect of fuel contamination can just cause progressively more harm being caused to the fuel system.
3. Would you like peace of mind?
   In that case get it removed. Regardless of contamination percentage, there is always a certain level of risk associated with driving a Petrol engine on fuel contaminated with Diesel. Likely consequences of driving a car on the wrong fuel include things like the motor refusing to start, running lumpy, decrease in power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn out or bunged injectors, and so forth. These are a few of the commonest Diesel in Petrol warning signs, and should you recognise any of them then cease driving and have it drained asap.
