Bad fuel in your Honda CR-Z? Diesel in a Petrol Honda?

ABOUT

Putting Diesel in a Petrol Honda is a regular problem. And exactly what you have to do about it depends upon various factors. In case you want to find out what you must do about it then stay with me.
Listed here are the main variables to take into consideration when making a decision whether or not to get the car drained:

1. What amount of Diesel have you put in the Honda, keeping in mind that the fuel tank capacity of the Honda CR-Z is normally around 40 litres?
   1. A modest amount of Diesel, something like 2 litres of Diesel in a Petrol CR-Z will normally not necessarily be a significant problem. Experience has taught us that quantities less than 2 litres (which is close to 5% of the overall fuel tank) is oftentimes capable of being sufficiently diluted by means of wholly topping up the tank with Petrol.
      It is highly rare to encounter a motor vehicle suffering from problems due to less than 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Keep in mind that it is rare - certainly not impossible to find. You can get certain cars that will not stand any degree of fuel contamination whatsoever.
   2. Anywhere between 2 and 4 litres of Diesel in the Honda (5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 condition. Our working experience has proven that as many motorists get away with it as all those who break down. Whenever figuring out whether or not to risk it and basically top it up bear in mind that it is exactly like gambling everything on black - you have a 50/50 possibility of it working.
   3. Anything over 4 litres of Diesel in your Petrol CR-Z should straight away be removed seeing as your likelihood of getting away with this level of contamination is probably less than one in 50 - truly huge odds.
2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Honda and drove it: Have you noticed any kind of performance concerns as a result of putting the wrong fuel in the CR-Z? If that's the case, have it removed no matter the volume of Diesel or the contamination ratio. Still driving a motor vehicle that is already beginning to suffer from the effect of wrong fuel contamination will just result in even more harm being done to your fuel system parts.
3. Are you interested in security?
   You should get it emptied. Regardless of contamination percentage, there is always some amount of threat connected to driving a Petrol engine on fuel contaminated with Diesel. Probable consequences of driving on the wrong fuel include the engine refusing to start, running unevenly, reduced power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn or bunged injectors, and so on. These are some of the most frequently seen Diesel in Petrol signs and symptoms, and in the event that you detect any of them stop and get it removed asap.
