Bad fuel in a Honda FR-V? Diesel in your Petrol Honda?

ABOUT

Filling Diesel in a Petrol Honda is a usual error. And its solution is determined by several different things. Assuming you would like to find out what you have to do about this then stay with me.
Let us discuss the most important variables to to consider whenever figuring out whether or not to have a fuel drain:

1. Exactly how much Diesel have you put into the Honda, keeping in mind that the fuel tank capacity of your Honda FR-V is normally approximately 58 litres?
   1. A tiny quantity of Diesel, as little as 2.9 litres of Diesel in a Petrol FR-V will more often than not not really be a major problem. Experience has proven to us that anything less than 2.9 litres (almost 5% of the entire fuel tank volume) is usually able to be completely diluted by means of wholly topping the remainder of the tank with Petrol.
      It's highly uncommon to encounter a car suffering from issues with less than 5% wrong fuel contamination. Keep in mind that it is infrequent - in no way impossible to find. You will discover a number of cars that will not endure any level of fuel contamination in the slightest.
   2. Anywhere between 2.9 and 5.8 litres of Diesel in the Honda (from 5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 scenario. Our experience has revealed that as many motorists get away with this as all those who break down. Any time you are figuring out whether to chance it and basically fill it up bear in mind that it is the same as betting it all on black - you've got a 50/50 chance of it being ok.
   3. Anything more than 5.8 litres of Diesel in your Petrol FR-V ought to promptly be removed as your likelihood of succeeding with that quantity of contamination is almost certainly less than one in 50 - genuinely big odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Honda and drove it: Have you seen any kind of performance difficulties as a result of putting the wrong fuel in your FR-V? If you have, get it drained no matter the quantity of Diesel or the contamination percentage. Still running a car that is beginning to suffer the effects of wrong fuel contamination will likely end up in even more harm affecting the fuel system.
3. Would you like peace of mind?
   Then get it removed. No matter the contamination ratio, there is always a certain level of danger connected with running a Petrol engine on fuel contaminated with Diesel. Possible consequences of driving a car on the wrong fuel include the engine not starting, running lumpy, decrease in power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, damaged or bunged injectors, and the like. These are some of the most common Diesel in Petrol symptoms, and if you notice any of them cease driving and have it drained as soon as possible.
