Wrong fuel in a Ferrari 612 Scaglietti? Diesel in a Petrol Ferrari?

ABOUT

Filling up with Diesel in a Petrol Ferrari is a very common mistake. And what you want to do about it depends on several factors. In the event that you want to find out what you need to do about it then continue reading.
Listed here are the key variables to think about whenever choosing whether to get it drained:

1. What level of Diesel did you put into the Ferrari, bearing in mind that the fuel tank capacity of the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti is probably about 105 litres?
   1. A tiny quantity of Diesel, something like 5.25 litres of Diesel in a Petrol 612 Scaglietti will normally not be a big problem. Experience has proven to us that anything under 5.25 litres (which is about 5% of the overall fuel tank) is quite often able to be sufficiently diluted through totally topping the remainder of the tank with the correct fuel.
      It is very rare to encounter a motor vehicle having difficulties with lower than 5% wrong fuel contamination. Please remember it is unusual - not impossible to encounter. You can get a number of vehicles that won't stand any level of contamination in the slightest.
   2. Somewhere between 5.25 and 10.5 litres of Diesel in the Ferrari (5 to 10%) is a 50/50 condition. Our experience demonstrates that as many motorists get away with this as those who don't. When trying to decide whether or not to risk it and just simply top it up recognise that it is the same thing as wagering your car on black - you've got a 50/50 chance of it working.
   3. Anything in excess of 10.5 litres of Diesel in your Petrol 612 Scaglietti should really straightaway be drained seeing that your likelihood of driving with this level of contamination is certainly less than one in fifty - genuinely big odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Ferrari and drove it: Have you noted any performance problems since putting the wrong fuel in your 612 Scaglietti? If that's the case, have it removed no matter the volume of Diesel or even the contamination percentage. Still driving an automobile that is currently beginning to suffer the consequences of fuel contamination will just cause more harm affecting your fuel system parts.
3. Would you like security?
   You should get it emptied. No matter the contamination ratio, there is inevitably some amount of risk linked with running a Petrol motor on fuel contaminated with Diesel. Possible outcomes of driving on the wrong fuel include things like the engine not starting, running unevenly, losing power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn or bunged injectors, and so forth. These are several of the most frequently seen Diesel in Petrol signs and symptoms, and in the event that you detect any of them then stop and have it drained as soon as possible.
