Contaminated fuel in a BMW M3 Coupe CSL? Diesel in your Petrol BMW?

ABOUT

Filling up with Diesel in a Petrol BMW is a well-known mistake. And its remedy is based on several factors. In case you want to find out what to do about it then read on.
These are the key factors to keep in mind when making a decision whether or not to get the car drained:

1. What amount of Diesel have you put in the BMW, keeping in mind that the fuel capacity of your BMW M3 Coupe CSL is normally about 63 litres?
   1. A tiny quantity of Diesel, something like 3.15 litres of Diesel in a Petrol M3 Coupe CSL will in most cases not really be a massive problem. Experience has proven to us that an amount less than 3.15 litres (almost 5% of the whole fuel tank) is usually capable of being sufficiently diluted by totally filling the rest of the tank with the appropriate fuel.
      It's extremely uncommon to encounter an automobile having problems due to below 5% wrong fuel contamination. Keep in mind it is infrequently found - certainly not impossible to encounter. You will discover a few vehicles that will not stand any degree of contamination whatsoever.
   2. In between 3.15 and 6.3 litres of Diesel in the BMW (from 5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 situation. Our experience has demonstrated that as many people get away with this as those who break down. When you are deciding whether or not to chance it and just simply fill it up remember that it is much like wagering all of it on black - you will have a 50/50 chance of it being ok.
   3. Anything in excess of 6.3 litres of Diesel in a Petrol M3 Coupe CSL should really promptly be drained out seeing that your probability of getting away with this level of contamination is almost certainly less than one in fifty - genuinely big odds.
2. Put Diesel in a Petrol BMW and drove it: Have you spotted any performance troubles since putting the wrong fuel in the M3 Coupe CSL? If you have, have it drained irrespective of the amount of Diesel or the contamination ratio. Still running a vehicle that is beginning to suffer the consequences of fuel contamination will definitely be responsible for progressively more damage being done to the fuel system.
3. Do you want peace of mind?
   In that case get it removed. Regardless of the contamination ratio, there is inevitably some amount of threat caused by operating a Petrol motor on fuel contaminated with the wrong fuel. Likely results of driving on the wrong fuel include things like the motor refusing to start, running lumpy, losing power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, damaged or blocked injectors, and so forth. These are several of the most common Diesel in Petrol warning signs, and if you notice any of them then stop and have it drained as soon as possible.
