ABOUT

Filling up with Diesel in a Petrol Rover is a usual problem. And its remedy will depend on several things. If perhaps you would like to know what you have to do to fix it then continue reading.
Listed below are the most important factors to think about when determining whether or not to get a fuel drain:

1. What level of Diesel did you put in the Rover, taking into account that the fuel capacity of the Rover 416 Si is usually around 55 litres?
   1. A modest quantity of Diesel, less than 2.75 litres of Diesel in a Petrol 416 Si will more often than not not really be a big problem. Experience has shown us that an amount less than 2.75 litres (close to 5% of the whole fuel tank volume) is in many instances able to be adequately diluted simply by thoroughly filling up the tank with Petrol.
      It is highly unusual to encounter a vehicle experiencing difficulties because of below 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Bear in mind that it is unusual - in no way impossible to encounter. You will discover a number of vehicles that won't endure any level of fuel contamination in the slightest.
   2. Anywhere between 2.75 and 5.5 litres of Diesel in the Rover (5 to 10%) is a 50/50 condition. Our working experience has shown that as many drivers get away with it as those people who don't. Any time you are figuring out whether or not to risk it and basically fill it up bear in mind that it is very much like betting it all on black - you will have a 50/50 chance of it being ok.
   3. Anything more than 5.5 litres of Diesel in a Petrol 416 Si really should as soon as possible be drained seeing as your likelihood of getting away with this amount of contamination is very likely less than one in fifty - extremely huge odds.
2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Rover and drove it: Have you spotted any kind of performance problems since putting the incorrect fuel in the 416 Si? If so, get it drained regardless of the quantity of Diesel or the contamination ratio. Continuing to drive driving a car that is beginning to suffer from the effects of wrong fuel contamination will definitely lead to more and more damage being caused to the fuel system parts.
3. Are you interested in security?
   You should get it emptied. Regardless of the contamination percentage, there is always some extent of threat connected with operating a Petrol engine on fuel contaminated with Diesel. Possible implications of driving a vehicle on the wrong fuel can include the engine not starting, running unevenly, losing power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, damaged or clogged injectors, etc. These are several of the most common Diesel in Petrol signs and symptoms, and in the event that you detect any of them then stop driving and have it drained as soon as possible.
