Do NOT use Diesel fuel in a Ford Focus. The engine will stop running and you will have to drain the gas tank to rid the car of the diesel fuel. Gasoline engines are not designed to run on diesel. They do not have enough compression to cause the diesel fuel to combust The only engine used in a 2000 Ford Focus was the 2.0 which is NOT a diesel engine.

For example, some diesel cars can get extraordinary gas mileage, but they run off a water cooling system. In places that see the temperature drop below freezing on a regular basis, this type of diesel car may not be the best diesel car for you.
