ABOUT

Putting Diesel in a Petrol Mazda is a fairly typical problem. And exactly what you have to do about it is based on a few factors. If you would like to know what you ought to do to sort it out then continue reading.
Let us discuss the most crucial factors to consider whenever determining whether or not to have it drained:

1. What level of Diesel have you put in to the Mazda, taking into consideration that the fuel capacity of the Mazda Rx-7 is probably approximately 76 litres?
   1. Hardly any Diesel, as little as 3.8 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Rx-7 will typically not really be a significant problem. Experience has demonstrated to us that quantities under 3.8 litres (which is roughly 5% of the entire fuel tank volume) is quite often able to be completely diluted simply by thoroughly filling up the rest of the tank with Petrol.
      It's quite unusual to come across a car going through difficulties with below 5% wrong fuel contamination. Keep in mind that it is very unusual - definitely not impossible to find. You will discover some cars that don't endure any degree of contamination at all.
   2. Anywhere between 3.8 and 7.6 litres of Diesel in the Mazda (from 5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 situation. Our expertise demonstrates that as many motorists get away with this as those who break down. Any time you're deciding on whether or not to chance it and just top it up bear in mind that it is very much like gambling your car on black - you've got a 50/50 possibility of it being ok.
   3. Anything above 7.6 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Rx-7 should as soon as possible be drained seeing as your likelihood of driving with this amount of contamination is almost certainly less than one in fifty - extremely long odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Mazda and drove it: Have you spotted any performance problems as a result of putting the bad fuel in the Rx-7? If that's the case, have it drained regardless of the quantity of Diesel or the contamination percentage. Continually driving a car that is now beginning to suffer the consequences of wrong fuel contamination will likely be responsible for even more harm affecting the fuel system.
3. Are you looking for security?
   Simply get it removed. Regardless of contamination ratio, there is inevitably some amount of risk resulting from driving a Petrol motor on fuel contaminated with Diesel. Possible consequences of driving a car on the wrong fuel include the engine not starting, running lumpy, loss in power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn out or bunged injectors, and so forth. These are a few of the most common Diesel in Petrol symptoms, and if you recognise any of them stop driving and get it removed right away.
