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

ABOUT

Putting Diesel in a Petrol Alfa Romeo is a common mistake to make. And exactly what you have to do about it will depend on several different factors. In the event that you want to find out what it is best to do to sort it out then keep reading.
Listed below are the key variables to to consider whenever determining whether to have a fuel drain:

1. What amount of Diesel did you put in the Alfa Romeo, considering that the fuel capacity of your Alfa Romeo Brera is normally roughly 70 litres?
   1. A tiny quantity of Diesel, as little as 3.5 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Brera will most of the time not be a significant problem. Experience has taught us that an amount less than 3.5 litres (which is roughly 5% of the total fuel tank) is in many instances capable of being sufficiently diluted through wholly topping up the tank with the appropriate fuel.
      It is pretty rare to come across an automobile having difficulties due to less than 5% wrong fuel contamination. Bear in mind that it is unusual - certainly not impossible to find. You can get a number of automobiles that don't stand any amount of contamination whatsoever.
   2. Between 3.5 and 7 litres of Diesel in the Alfa Romeo (from 5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 situation. Our expertise has shown that as many people get away with it as all those who don't. When trying to decide whether or not to risk it and just simply fill it up recognise that it is the same thing as wagering everything on black - you have got a 50/50 chance of it working.
   3. Anything in excess of 7 litres of Diesel in your Petrol Brera should really as soon as possible be drained out seeing that your probability of getting away with that amount of contamination is more than likely lower than one in 50 - seriously huge odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Alfa Romeo and drove it: Have you seen any performance issues ever since putting the bad fuel in the Brera? If that's the case, have it removed no matter the amount of Diesel or even the contamination percentage. Continually driving a motor vehicle that is already starting to suffer from the effect of wrong fuel contamination can typically end up in more damage being done to the fuel system.
3. Are you looking for peace of mind?
   In that case get it drained. Whatever the contamination percentage, there is always some amount of risk caused by driving a Petrol motor on fuel contaminated with the wrong fuel. Probable outcomes of driving a vehicle on the wrong fuel can include the motor not starting, running unevenly, loss of power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, damaged or blocked injectors, and so forth. These are a few of the most frequently seen Diesel in Petrol symptoms, and in the event that you notice any of them then stop and have it drained asap.
