No, I didn't do this, but I was just curious, what would happen if someone accidentally used diesel fuel in their car instead of unleaded, and whay would need to be fixed?

 

Diesel combust under compression thats why diesel engines have no spark plug.

So what do you tihnk would happen?


Try it .

 

Nothing bad, just the car wouldnt run at all. You would have to pump out all the diesel from the line and get it cleaned. Diesel has more of oil base to it thus being denser. Also why Diesel engines last longer cause it is in a sense Self Lubricating.

Now if you put unleaded in a diesel engine, you can crack the block on the diesel possible. Reason being is that Diesel uses a combustion ratio of upto 25:1. Unleaded at that pressure would be very hot and combust to the point where it could crack the block.

Dixit

 

i don't even think its possible b/c aren't the nozzles on the diesel pumps bigger than the hole on the gas tank. maybe im wrong

 

yeah...there was just a huge thread on this...full of crap. LOL
