Contaminated fuel in your Aston Martin Virage? Diesel in your Petrol Aston Martin?

ABOUT

Putting Diesel in a Petrol Aston Martin is a very common error. And what you need to do about it is determined by a few factors. Assuming you want to find out what you need to do about this then continue reading.
Listed here are the most important factors to think about when choosing whether to have it drained:

1. Exactly how much Diesel did you put into the Aston Martin, considering that the fuel tank capacity of the Aston Martin Virage is in most cases roughly 78 litres?
   1. A modest quantity of Diesel, as little as 3.9 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Virage will normally not necessarily be a huge problem. Experience has demonstrated to us that quantities under 3.9 litres (which is approximately 5% of the fuel tank volume) is sometimes able to be sufficiently diluted through completely filling the tank with Petrol.
      It's relatively rare to encounter a car suffering from difficulties with below 5% wrong fuel contamination. Do not forget that it is very unusual - not impossible to encounter. There are actually certain vehicles that won't endure any quantity of fuel contamination in the slightest.
   2. Anywhere between 3.9 and 7.8 litres of Diesel in the Aston Martin (5 to 10%) is a 50/50 scenario. Our working experience has shown us that as many people get away with this as all those who break down. When you are deciding on whether or not to risk it and just simply fill it up recognise that it is very much like wagering everything on black - you have a 50/50 possibility of it being ok.
   3. Anything more than 7.8 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Virage should straightaway be drained out since your probability of driving with this level of contamination is certainly less than one in fifty - definitely huge odds.
2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Aston Martin and drove it: Have you seen any performance troubles after putting the bad fuel in the Virage? If so, have it emptied irrespective of the quantity of Diesel or the contamination ratio. Continuing to run driving a car that is starting to suffer the effect of fuel contamination will probably definitely be responsible for increasing amounts of harm being caused to the fuel system.
3. Are you interested in peace of mind?
   Then get it removed. No matter the contamination percentage, there is inevitably some extent of danger connected with operating a Petrol engine on fuel contaminated with Diesel. Probable consequences of driving on the wrong fuel include the motor refusing to start, running lumpy, loss of power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, damaged or clogged injectors, etc. These are some of the most common Diesel in Petrol symptoms, and if you detect any of them cease driving and get it drained immediately.
