Contaminated fuel in a Ferrari 348 GTB? Diesel in your Petrol Ferrari?

ABOUT

Putting Diesel in a Petrol Ferrari is a well-known mistake to make. And exactly what you want to do about it is dependent upon a few things. In case you would like to find out what you should do about it then continue reading.
Listed below are the key factors to be aware of whenever deciding whether or not to have a fuel drain:

1. What amount of Diesel did you put in to the Ferrari, considering that the fuel tank capacity of your Ferrari 348 GTB is most likely roughly 95 litres?
   1. Hardly any Diesel, less than 4.75 litres of Diesel in a Petrol 348 GTB will quite often not be a huge problem. Experience has shown us that anything under 4.75 litres (which is close to 5% of the fuel tank capacity) is quite often able to be sufficiently diluted simply by completely topping the rest of the tank with Petrol.
      It is pretty uncommon to come across a car or truck experiencing problems due to lower than 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Bear in mind that it's infrequently found - in no way impossible to find. There are actually some motor vehicles that won't endure any level of contamination at all.
   2. Somewhere between 4.75 and 9.5 litres of Diesel in the Ferrari (from 5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 situation. Our practical experience demonstrates that as many drivers get away with it as those who break down. Whenever deciding on whether or not to risk it and simply fill it up recognise that it is just like betting it all on black - you will have a 50/50 possibility of it working.
   3. Anything in excess of 9.5 litres of Diesel in your Petrol 348 GTB should straight away be drained out as your likelihood of driving with that level of contamination is in all likelihood lower than one in fifty - genuinely big odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Ferrari and drove it: Have you detected any performance concerns ever since putting the wrong fuel in your 348 GTB? If you have, get it drained no matter the amount of Diesel or the contamination percentage. Still driving an automobile that is now beginning to suffer from the consequences of fuel contamination will likely lead to increasing amounts of harm affecting your fuel system components.
3. Are you looking for peace of mind?
   In that case get it removed. Whatever the contamination percentage, there is inevitably some degree of threat connected to running a Petrol vehicle on Petrol contaminated with Diesel. Likely final outcomes of driving a car on the wrong fuel normally include the engine refusing to start, running unevenly, loss of power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn out or bunged injectors, and the like. These are a few of the most frequently seen Diesel in Petrol signs and symptoms, and in the event that you observe any of them cease driving and have it removed asap.
