Incorrect fuel in a Fiat Stilo Multijet? Petrol in a Diesel Fiat?

ABOUT

Filling up with Petrol in a Diesel Fiat is a very common mistake to make. And exactly what you have to do about it hinges on a few things. If perhaps you want to know what to do to fix it then stay with me.
Here are the most important factors to to consider whenever figuring out whether to have the car drained:

1. How much Petrol have you put into the Fiat, considering that the fuel tank capacity of your Fiat Stilo Multijet is most likely around 58 litres?
   1. A modest quantity of Petrol, as little as 2.9 litres of Petrol in a Diesel Stilo Multijet will most of the time not really be a big problem. Experience has proven to us that anything under 2.9 litres (close to 5% of the total fuel tank volume) is very often capable of being sufficiently diluted by totally filling up the remainder of the tank with the appropriate fuel.
      It's pretty rare to come across a car experiencing issues due to below 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Keep in mind it is unusual - definitely not impossible to encounter. There are actually certain cars that will not endure any level of contamination in the slightest.
   2. Between 2.9 and 5.8 litres of Petrol in the Fiat (from 5 to 10%) is more of a 50/50 situation. Our expertise has demonstrated that as many people get away with this as those who don't. Whenever you are figuring out whether to risk it and just simply top it up remember that it is exactly like betting your car on black - you've got a 50/50 chance of it working out.
   3. Anything over 5.8 litres of Petrol in your Diesel Stilo Multijet should really straight away be removed as your likelihood of driving with that quantity of contamination is almost certainly less than one in fifty - extremely huge odds.
2. Put Petrol in a Diesel Fiat and drove it: Have you noted any performance issues since putting the bad fuel in the Stilo Multijet? If you have, have it removed no matter the amount of Petrol or even the contamination percentage. Continuing to run running a car that is already beginning to suffer the effect of wrong fuel contamination can only end up in more harm affecting the fuel system.
3. Are you looking for reassurance?
   Then simply just get it drained. Whatever the contamination ratio, there is inevitably some extent of risk linked with running a Diesel engine on Diesel contaminated with Petrol. Likely implications of driving on the wrong fuel include things like the engine refusing to start, running unevenly, lack of power, degradation of the high-pressure pump, worn out or blocked injectors, and so forth. These are some of the commonest Petrol in Diesel symptoms, and should you observe any of them stop and have it drained asap.
