   3. Anything above 6 litres of Diesel in your Petrol Outlander should really immediately be drained out seeing as your likelihood of driving with this amount of contamination is certainly below one in 50 - really big odds.
2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Mitsubishi and drove it: Have you seen any performance concerns as a result of putting the incorrect fuel in your Outlander?

   Then simply just get it removed. Regardless of contamination percentage, there is inevitably some amount of threat associated with running a Petrol engine on Petrol contaminated with the wrong fuel.
