ABOUT

Listed here the most crucial factors to be aware of whenever figuring out whether or not to get a fuel drain:

1. What amount of Diesel have you put into the Ford, keeping in mind that the fuel tank capacity of your Ford Maverick is normally about 62 litres?
   1. Hardly any Diesel, something like 3.1 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Maverick will in most situations not be a huge problem. Experience has taught us that anything under 3.1 litres (approximately 5% of the overall fuel tank volume) is in many instances capable of being adequately diluted through thoroughly topping the remainder of the tank with Petrol.
      It's quite rare to find a motor vehicle suffering from difficulties because of below 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Keep in mind it is very rare - in no way impossible to find. There are actually a number of vehicles that will not stand any amount of contamination whatsoever.
   2. Somewhere between 3.1 and 6.2 litres of Diesel in the Ford (5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 condition. Our experience has demonstrated that as many drivers get away with it as those people who break down. Whenever trying to decide whether to risk it and basically fill it up remember that it is just like wagering all of it on black - you've got a 50/50 possibility of it working.
   3. Anything more than 6.2 litres of Diesel in your Petrol Maverick ought to promptly be drained out seeing as your probability of driving with this quantity of contamination is almost certainly less than one in 50 - genuinely big odds.
2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Ford and drove it: Have you spotted any kind of performance problems ever since putting the bad fuel in your Maverick? If so, have it drained irrespective of the amount of Diesel or the contamination ratio. Proceeding to run running a motor vehicle that is now beginning to suffer the effect of fuel contamination will probably just lead to increasing amounts of harm being caused to your fuel system parts.
3. Would you like reassurance?
   Simply get it emptied. No matter the contamination percentage, there is always a certain level of danger associated with driving a Petrol motor on fuel contaminated with the incorrect fuel. Possible consequences of driving a vehicle on the wrong fuel normally include the engine refusing to start, running lumpy, decrease in power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, damaged or bunged injectors, and so on. These are some of the most typical Diesel in Petrol warning signs, and in the event that you observe any of them stop driving and have it removed as soon as possible.
