Wrong fuel in a Ford Ka TDCi? Petrol in a Diesel Ford?

ABOUT

Filling Petrol in a Diesel Ford is a fairly typical mistake. And what you should do about it will depend on a few factors. In the event that you would like to find out what you need to do about this then keep reading.
These are the most crucial factors to take into account when making a decision whether to get a fuel drain:

1. Exactly how much Petrol did you put in the Ford, taking into account that the fuel tank capacity of the Ford Ka TDCi is most likely approximately 35 litres?
   1. A tiny amount of Petrol, less than 1.75 litres of Petrol in a Diesel Ka TDCi will most of the time not necessarily be a huge problem. Experience has proven to us that quantities under 1.75 litres (almost 5% of the total fuel tank volume) is quite often capable of being adequately diluted by totally topping the rest of the tank with the correct fuel.
      It's extremely uncommon to encounter a vehicle experiencing problems because of lower than 5% incorrect fuel contamination. Bear in mind that it is uncommon - in no way impossible to encounter. You can get a few motor vehicles that don't stand any degree of fuel contamination whatsoever.
   2. In between 1.75 and 3.5 litres of Petrol in the Ford (5 to 10%) is really a 50/50 condition. Our practical experience has confirmed that as many drivers get away with this as all those who don't. When deciding on whether or not to chance it and just simply fill it up recognise that it is much like betting all of it on black - you've got a 50/50 chance of it working out.
   3. Anything above 3.5 litres of Petrol in a Diesel Ka TDCi must right away be drained out because your probability of succeeding with that amount of contamination is certainly less than one in fifty - truly long odds.
2. Put Petrol in a Diesel Ford and drove it: Have you spotted any performance problems as a result of putting the incorrect fuel in your Ka TDCi? If you have, have it emptied regardless of the amount of Petrol or the contamination ratio. Continuing to run driving a vehicle that is starting to suffer the consequences of fuel contamination can just bring about increasing amounts of damage affecting the fuel system.
3. Would you like security?
   Simply get it removed. Regardless of the contamination percentage, there is always some degree of danger linked with driving a Diesel motor on Diesel contaminated with Petrol. Probable consequences of driving on the wrong fuel include things like the motor refusing to start, running unevenly, decrease in power, wearing of the high-pressure pump, worn out or blocked injectors, and so forth. These are a few of the most typical Petrol in Diesel signs or symptoms, and in the event that you observe any of them then stop and get it removed immediately.
