Whenever deciding whether to risk it and basically top it up bear in mind that it is the same as gambling it all on black - you've got a 50/50 chance of it being ok.
   3. Anything over 5.7 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Alero ought to right away be drained since your probability of driving with this level of contamination is more than likely less than one in 50 - really big odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Chevrolet and drove it: Have you noted any performance difficulties ever since putting the wrong fuel in your Alero? If you have, get it emptied irrespective of the quantity of Diesel or even the contamination percentage. Proceeding to drive running a vehicle that is currently starting to suffer from the effects of fuel contamination can definitely end up in more and more damage affecting the fuel system parts.
3. Do you want security?
   You should get it emptied. Whatever the contamination percentage, there is always some extent of risk resulting from operating a Petrol engine on Petrol contaminated with the wrong fuel. Probable consequences of driving a vehicle on the incorrect fuel include the motor not starting, running unevenly, lack of power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn or blocked injectors, etc. These are some of the commonest Diesel in Petrol warning signs, and if you detect any of them then stop and have it removed asap.
