What Happens When You Put Diesel In A Gas Car

First if you re worried this is.

When diesel fuel does end up in a gasoline tank the car will run for a few miles or so until all the gasoline that s still in the fuel line gets used up. Diesel in gas engine causes accidents however diesel is heavier and oilier than the gasoline so when you pour the gas engine with diesel the injectors feed the engine with loads of diesel as it sank inside the engine. Gasoline engines cannot combust diesel fuel so the car would stop running. Gasoline engines have spark plugs to start and ignite the gasoline vapor.

It isn t necessarily flammable on its own. Accidentally putting diesel into a car that runs on gasoline doesn t happen that often but when it does it can do a lot of damage to your vehicle and your wallet. With gasoline the performance is measured in octanes.
