Incorrect fuel in a Mitsubishi Colt? Diesel in your Petrol Mitsubishi?

ABOUT

Filling Diesel in a Petrol Mitsubishi is a well-known mistake. And exactly what you want to do about it is based on a variety of things. In case you want to find out what you have to do about it then please read on.
Here are the key factors to think about when determining whether to get it drained:

1. Exactly how much Diesel did you put into the Mitsubishi, keeping in mind that the fuel capacity of your Mitsubishi Colt is usually about 47 litres?
   1. A small quantity of Diesel, something like 2.35 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Colt will more often than not not be a huge problem. Experience has taught us that an amount less than 2.35 litres (which is 5% of the fuel tank capacity) is quite often able to be adequately diluted through completely topping the tank with Petrol.
      It's pretty unusual to come across a motor vehicle suffering from difficulties because of under 5% wrong fuel contamination. Remember that it's infrequent - definitely not impossible to encounter. There are actually certain cars that will not endure any level of fuel contamination in the slightest.
   2. Anywhere between 2.35 and 4.7 litres of Diesel in the Mitsubishi (from 5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 scenario. Our expertise has proven that as many people get away with this as those who break down. When trying to decide whether or not to chance it and just simply fill it up bear in mind that it is just like wagering all of it on black - you have a 50/50 possibility of it being ok.
   3. Anything in excess of 4.7 litres of Diesel in your Petrol Colt ought to right away be drained out seeing as your likelihood of driving with this amount of contamination is certainly below one in 50 - genuinely big odds.
2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Mitsubishi and drove it: Have you seen any performance troubles since putting the wrong fuel in your Colt? In that case, get it removed no matter the amount of Diesel or even the contamination ratio. Continuing to drive driving an automobile that is currently beginning to suffer from the effects of wrong fuel contamination will definitely be responsible for more harm being caused to your fuel system parts.
3. Are you interested in security?
   Simply get it removed. Regardless of contamination ratio, there is invariably some amount of risk in connection with operating a Petrol engine on Petrol contaminated with the wrong fuel. Possible results of driving a car on the wrong fuel include things like the engine refusing to start, running lumpy, loss of power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, damaged or bunged injectors, etc. These are several of the most common Diesel in Petrol symptoms, and if you observe any of them stop driving and get it drained right away.
