These are the most crucial variables to keep in mind whenever deciding whether or not to have a fuel drain:

1. Exactly how much Diesel have you put in the Rover, taking into account that the fuel capacity of the Rover Tourer is normally around 55 litres?
   1. Hardly any Diesel, something like 2.75 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Tourer will generally not really be a significant problem. Experience has taught us that quantities under 2.75 litres (which is almost 5% of the fuel tank) is generally capable of being adequately diluted by totally topping up the remainder of the tank with Petrol.
      It's quite uncommon to come across a motor vehicle having difficulties with under 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Do not forget that it is very unusual - certainly not impossible to encounter. You will discover some automobiles that will not endure any level of fuel contamination at all.
   2. Anywhere between 2.75 and 5.5 litres of Diesel in the Rover (5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 situation. Our practical experience has shown us that as many people get away with it as those who break down. Whenever deciding upon whether or not to risk it and basically top it up consider that it is exactly like wagering all of it on black - you've got a 50/50 possibility of it working out.
   3. Anything in excess of 5.5 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Tourer should straightaway be drained out because your probability of getting away with that amount of contamination is certainly less than one in 50 - really long odds.
2. Put some Diesel in a Petrol Rover and drove it: Have you seen any performance difficulties ever since putting the bad fuel in the Tourer? If that's the case, have it emptied irrespective of the quantity of Diesel or even the contamination percentage. Proceeding to run running a car that is already beginning to suffer from the effect of wrong fuel contamination can only result in progressively more harm being done to your fuel system components.
3. Do you want assurance?
   Simply get it drained. No matter the contamination percentage, there is inevitably a certain level of threat affiliated with running a Petrol vehicle on fuel contaminated with the incorrect fuel. Likely results of driving a car on the wrong fuel include the motor not starting, running unevenly, losing power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn out or bunged injectors, and the like.
