   1. A modest amount of Diesel, something like 1.6 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Cygnet will in most cases not be a big problem. Experience has taught us that an amount under 1.6 litres (about 5% of the fuel tank capacity) is frequently capable of being sufficiently diluted by means of thoroughly topping the tank with Petrol.
      It's highly unusual to encounter a car or truck going through issues because of lower than 5% wrong fuel contamination. Remember that it is very infrequently found - certainly not impossible to encounter. There are actually a number of motor vehicles that don't endure any level of fuel contamination whatsoever.

Our working experience has confirmed that as many motorists get away with this as those who break down. When you are trying to decide whether or not to risk it and basically fill it up consider that it is exactly like wagering everything on black - you have a 50/50 possibility of it being ok.
   3. Anything over 3.2 litres of Diesel in your Petrol Cygnet ought to as soon as possible be drained as your probability of getting away with this quantity of contamination is undoubtedly below one in 50 - genuinely huge odds.
2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Aston Martin and drove it: Have you noted any kind of performance difficulties ever since putting the incorrect fuel in the Cygnet? If you have, get it emptied irrespective of the quantity of Diesel or even the contamination percentage. Proceeding to drive driving an automobile that is currently starting to suffer the effect of wrong fuel contamination can definitely cause more and more harm being caused to your fuel system.
3. Do you need assurance?
   Then get it drained. Regardless of contamination percentage, there is always some degree of danger connected to operating a Petrol engine on Petrol contaminated with Diesel. Likely implications of driving a vehicle on the wrong fuel can include the motor refusing to start, running lumpy, loss in power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, damaged or bunged injectors, and so forth.
