Contaminated fuel in a Mitsubishi Asx? Diesel in a Petrol Mitsubishi?

ABOUT

Putting Diesel in a Petrol Mitsubishi is a well-known mistake. And what you have to do about it varies according to various factors. If you would like to know what you should do about this then stay with me.
Let us discuss the key variables to be aware of when determining whether to get a fuel drain:

1. What level of Diesel have you put into the Mitsubishi, taking into consideration that the fuel capacity of your Mitsubishi Asx is most likely around 63 litres?
   1. A tiny quantity of Diesel, something like 3.15 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Asx will generally not necessarily be a big problem. Experience has proven to us that an amount under 3.15 litres (which is about 5% of the whole fuel tank) is very often able to be completely diluted simply by totally filling the remainder of the tank with the correct fuel.
      It is highly unusual to come across a car going through difficulties because of lower than 5% wrong fuel contamination. Please remember it's uncommon - not impossible to encounter. There are actually some motor vehicles that don't endure any quantity of fuel contamination at all.
   2. Between 3.15 and 6.3 litres of Diesel in the Mitsubishi (from 5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 condition. Our working experience has shown us that as many motorists get away with it as those who don't. Whenever you are figuring out whether to risk it and basically fill it up recognise that it is very much like wagering everything on black - you will have a 50/50 chance of it working out.
   3. Anything more than 6.3 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Asx really should immediately be drained seeing as your likelihood of getting away with that level of contamination is more than likely lower than one in fifty - really long odds.
2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Mitsubishi and drove it: Have you spotted any kind of performance problems as a result of putting the incorrect fuel in your Asx? If you have, get it drained regardless of the quantity of Diesel or the contamination ratio. Still running a vehicle that is currently beginning to suffer from the consequences of fuel contamination will probably definitely bring about more damage affecting your fuel system.
3. Would you like reassurance?
   You should get it emptied. Regardless of contamination ratio, there is inevitably some degree of risk in connection with driving a Petrol vehicle on Petrol contaminated with the incorrect fuel. Likely outcomes of driving on the wrong fuel include things like the engine refusing to start, running lumpy, losing power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, damaged or blocked injectors, etc. These are a few of the commonest Diesel in Petrol signs or symptoms, and if you notice any of them stop and have it drained right away.
