Bad fuel in a Fiat Stilo? Diesel in your Petrol Fiat?

ABOUT

Filling Diesel in a Petrol Fiat is a common mistake. And what you want to do about it depends upon several different things. In case you would like to know what you should do about it then continue reading.
Let us discuss the main variables to take into account whenever determining whether or not to get the car drained:

1. Exactly how much Diesel did you put into the Fiat, keeping in mind that the fuel capacity of the Fiat Stilo is in most cases approximately 58 litres?
   1. Hardly any Diesel, less than 2.9 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Stilo will normally not be a major problem. Experience has taught us that an amount less than 2.9 litres (about 5% of the overall fuel tank capacity) is usually capable of being completely diluted by means of completely filling up the rest of the tank with the correct fuel.
      It's quite rare to encounter a car or truck experiencing difficulties due to lower than 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Do not forget that it's infrequent - in no way impossible to find. There are some automobiles that won't endure any amount of fuel contamination in the slightest.
   2. In between 2.9 and 5.8 litres of Diesel in the Fiat (5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 condition. Our experience has proven that as many people get away with it as those people who break down. Whenever you are trying to decide whether to chance it and basically fill it up recognise that it is much like wagering your car on black - you have got a 50/50 chance of it being ok.
   3. Anything above 5.8 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Stilo ought to immediately be drained seeing that your probability of succeeding with that level of contamination is probably below one in 50 - definitely big odds.
2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Fiat and drove it: Have you noted any performance difficulties ever since putting the wrong fuel in the Stilo? In that case, have it removed regardless of the quantity of Diesel or even the contamination percentage. Still running a motor vehicle that is already starting to suffer the consequences of fuel contamination can only result in more damage being caused to the fuel system components.
3. Do you want assurance?
   Simply get it removed. Regardless of the contamination percentage, there is always some extent of risk caused by running a Petrol engine on fuel contaminated with the wrong fuel. Probable consequences of driving on the incorrect fuel include the motor refusing to start, running unevenly, losing power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn or clogged injectors, etc. These are several of the most typical Diesel in Petrol symptoms, and should you notice any of them cease driving and have it drained right now.
