Contaminated fuel in your Rover 218 Vi? Diesel in your Petrol Rover?

ABOUT

Putting Diesel in a Petrol Rover is a fairly typical problem. And exactly what you have to do about it is dependent upon various factors. In the event that you want to find out what you must do to sort it out then stay with me.
Listed below are the most crucial variables to be aware of whenever figuring out whether to have your car drained:

1. Exactly how much Diesel have you put in the Rover, considering that the fuel capacity of the Rover 218 Vi is normally around 50 litres?
   1. Hardly any Diesel, as little as 2.5 litres of Diesel in a Petrol 218 Vi will typically not really be a massive problem. Experience has shown us that an amount less than 2.5 litres (which is approximately 5% of the total fuel tank volume) is in many instances capable of being completely diluted by means of wholly filling up the remainder of the tank with the right fuel.
      It's rather unusual to encounter a car experiencing issues due to under 5% wrong fuel contamination. Keep in mind it is very uncommon - in no way impossible to find. There are a number of cars that won't stand any amount of fuel contamination in the slightest.
   2. Somewhere between 2.5 and 5 litres of Diesel in the Rover (from 5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 condition. Our working experience has proven that as many drivers get away with this as those who break down. Any time you are trying to decide whether or not to risk it and basically fill it up remember that it is the same as wagering it all on black - you have got a 50/50 chance of it being ok.
   3. Anything over 5 litres of Diesel in your Petrol 218 Vi ought to as soon as possible be drained out seeing that your probability of succeeding with this level of contamination is probably lower than one in fifty - truly huge odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Rover and drove it: Have you detected any kind of performance problems as a result of putting the bad fuel in your 218 Vi? In that case, get it removed irrespective of the amount of Diesel or even the contamination percentage. Proceeding to drive driving a motor vehicle that is already beginning to suffer the effects of wrong fuel contamination can typically be responsible for more and more damage being caused to the fuel system.
3. Do you want security?
   Then get it drained. Regardless of contamination ratio, there is always some extent of danger resulting from running a Petrol vehicle on fuel contaminated with the incorrect fuel. Possible outcomes of driving a car on the wrong fuel normally include the engine refusing to start, running unevenly, loss in power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn or blocked injectors, etc. These are a few of the commonest Diesel in Petrol warning signs, and should you notice any of them then stop and have it removed right now.
