Wrong Fuel Rover
Put Diesel in a Petrol Rover 420 SLi, GSi?
If you've gone and put the wrong fuel in a Rover you probably want to know what you should do about it. The answer to this question depends on the quantity of Diesel you put in your Petrol car.
Bear in mind that (according to our database) the fuel capacity of a 2-litre Petrol Rover 420 SLi, GSi is about 55 litres.
So there are three possible scenarios:
(Please Note: These figures are approximates. Running an engine on any amount of incorrect fuel can cause damage, regardless of contamination percentage. Information given here is advice based solely on our customer reports and case histories. Full details should be procured from your vehicle manufacturer.)- FIVE PERCENT: If you put less than 2.75 litres of Diesel in a Petrol Rover 420 SLi, GSi then in most cases, if the car's tank is completely filled with the correct fuel before it is started, it will probably be fine.
- FIVE TO TEN PERCENT: If you've put between 2.75 and 5.5 litres then you should probably give us a call. This is the grey area where sometimes you can get away with just topping it up, and sometimes you can't. Call us and, with a bit more information, we'll be able to give you the best advice on what to do next.
- If you've put more than 5.5 litres of the wrong fuel in your Rover 420 SLi, GSi then you should definitely get it drained. This equates to more than 10% contamination and exceeds any "safe" contamination level.

A somewhat concerned motorist called us from the Texaco filling station to inform us that he had put petrol in to his diesel Rover; he wasn't really certain how he'd managed to do it. We advised him it was no problem and soon enough had our technician out to him to drain the incorrect fuel from his car. Having extracted the wrong fuel, he was shortly back on the road. He told us; "I am really shocked I filled my car with the wrong fuel. And the man who came out to undertake the fuel drain was very nice - he didn't make me appear silly."
