Bad fuel in your Ford Focus RS? Diesel in your Petrol Ford?

ABOUT

Putting Diesel in a Petrol Ford is a common mistake to make. And its remedy depends upon a variety of things. If you want to find out what you ought to do to sort it out then please read on.
Right here are the key factors to keep in mind when making a decision whether to get a fuel drain:

1. How much Diesel have you put in to the Ford, considering that the fuel capacity of your Ford Focus RS is normally around 55 litres?
   1. A modest quantity of Diesel, less than 2.75 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Focus RS will usually not really be a significant problem. Experience has taught us that quantities less than 2.75 litres (which is close to 5% of the entire fuel tank volume) is often capable of being completely diluted by means of totally filling up the rest of the tank with Petrol.
      It is extremely unusual to come across a vehicle experiencing problems with below 5% wrong fuel contamination. Be aware that it is rare - not impossible to find. You will discover certain cars that will not endure any degree of fuel contamination whatsoever.
   2. Somewhere between 2.75 and 5.5 litres of Diesel in the Ford (5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 situation. Our practical experience has demonstrated that as many drivers get away with this as all those who break down. Whenever you are deciding on whether or not to chance it and basically fill it up bear in mind that it is just like gambling your car on black - you will have a 50/50 chance of it working.
   3. Anything above 5.5 litres of Diesel in your Petrol Focus RS must straightaway be removed because your probability of driving with this amount of contamination is certainly lower than one in 50 - definitely huge odds.
2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Ford and drove it: Have you observed any performance concerns after putting the incorrect fuel in your Focus RS? If that's the case, get it drained regardless of the volume of Diesel or even the contamination ratio. Proceeding to run running a car that is now beginning to suffer the effect of wrong fuel contamination will only cause progressively more harm affecting the fuel system.
3. Do you need security?
   Then get it removed. Regardless of the contamination ratio, there is invariably some extent of danger in connection with driving a Petrol vehicle on Petrol contaminated with Diesel. Likely final outcomes of driving on the wrong fuel can include the motor not starting, running unevenly, loss of power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn or bunged injectors, and so on. These are a few of the most common Diesel in Petrol signs and symptoms, and if you notice any of them stop and get it removed immediately.
