Wrong fuel in a Rover 75 T? Diesel in a Petrol Rover?

ABOUT

Filling up with Diesel in a Petrol Rover is a fairly typical problem. And what you need to do about it hinges on several factors. In case you would like to find out what you must do to fix it then please read on.
These are the key variables to keep in mind when deciding whether to have it drained:

1. What amount of Diesel have you put into the Rover, bearing in mind that the fuel tank capacity of your Rover 75 T is normally roughly 65 litres?
   1. Hardly any Diesel, something like 3.25 litres of Diesel in a Petrol 75 T will generally not really be a big problem. Experience has proven to us that an amount less than 3.25 litres (which is about 5% of the overall fuel tank capacity) is in many instances capable of being adequately diluted simply by completely filling the rest of the tank with the right fuel.
      It is pretty rare to encounter a car suffering from issues because of less than 5% wrong fuel contamination. Keep in mind that it is very rare - in no way impossible to encounter. There are a few motor vehicles that don't stand any level of fuel contamination at all.
   2. In between 3.25 and 6.5 litres of Diesel in the Rover (from 5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 situation. Our working experience has revealed that as many drivers get away with this as those people who don't. Any time you are deciding whether or not to chance it and simply top it up consider that it is very much like gambling your car on black - you've got a 50/50 possibility of it working.
   3. Anything more than 6.5 litres of Diesel in your Petrol 75 T really should promptly be drained out as your likelihood of driving with that amount of contamination is certainly less than one in 50 - really huge odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Rover and drove it: Have you noted any performance difficulties since putting the incorrect fuel in the 75 T? If you have, get it drained irrespective of the volume of Diesel or even the contamination percentage. Continuing to run driving a motor vehicle that is now starting to suffer from the effect of fuel contamination can typically be responsible for more and more damage being done to your fuel system parts.
3. Do you want assurance?
   Simply get it emptied. Whatever the contamination ratio, there is invariably some degree of threat linked with operating a Petrol engine on fuel contaminated with the incorrect fuel. Possible consequences of driving a vehicle on the incorrect fuel include things like the motor refusing to start, running lumpy, losing power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn or clogged injectors, and so forth. These are several of the commonest Diesel in Petrol signs and symptoms, and if you detect any of them then stop and get it removed asap.
