Bad fuel in your Smart Fortwo? Diesel in a Petrol Smart?

ABOUT

Putting Diesel in a Petrol Smart is a usual error. And what you should do about it hinges on several factors. In the event that you would like to find out what you need to do about it then read on.
Here are the most crucial factors to to consider when choosing whether to get it drained:

1. What level of Diesel have you put into the Smart, taking into consideration that the fuel tank capacity of the Smart Fortwo is probably around 33 litres?
   1. Hardly any Diesel, as little as 1.65 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Fortwo will normally not be a massive problem. Experience has shown us that quantities less than 1.65 litres (which is almost 5% of the overall fuel tank volume) is often capable of being sufficiently diluted through totally filling the rest of the tank with Petrol.
      It's relatively uncommon to come across a car suffering from difficulties with under 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Bear in mind that it is uncommon - definitely not impossible to encounter. You will discover some automobiles that won't stand any degree of fuel contamination whatsoever.
   2. Anywhere between 1.65 and 3.3 litres of Diesel in the Smart (from 5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 situation. Our experience has shown us that as many motorists get away with this as those people who don't. Whenever you are deciding on whether to chance it and basically fill it up bear in mind that it is exactly like wagering it all on black - you have a 50/50 chance of it working.
   3. Anything more than 3.3 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Fortwo ought to as soon as possible be drained out seeing that your probability of getting away with that amount of contamination is more than likely lower than one in 50 - extremely long odds.
2. Put Diesel in a Petrol Smart and drove it: Have you noted any kind of performance concerns since putting the wrong fuel in the Fortwo? If you have, get it drained irrespective of the quantity of Diesel or even the contamination ratio. Continually driving a motor vehicle that is beginning to suffer the effect of fuel contamination will probably just bring about even more harm being caused to the fuel system components.
3. Do you want assurance?
   Then get it emptied. No matter the contamination percentage, there is invariably some degree of danger resulting from driving a Petrol vehicle on fuel contaminated with the wrong fuel. Possible final outcomes of driving on the incorrect fuel normally include the motor not starting, running unevenly, loss of power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn or bunged injectors, etc. These are a few of the most frequently seen Diesel in Petrol signs and symptoms, and if you observe any of them stop driving and get it removed asap.
