Diesel run in any petrol engine will do damage if you can keep the engine running for a long period of time. A petrol engine will not start and run on diesel fuel alone Posted by Danny from Bee Mech Mobile Mechanics
To keep it running cleanly and efficiently.
If you put gasoline in your diesel engine, first be sure to keep the engine turned off. If you have already started the engine, turn it off. Then, drain the fuel tank, remove and replace the fuel filter, and fill the tank with diesel. This should fix the problem.
Thermostatic control to cool engine.
No. Iginition in a Diesel engine comes from compression and not spark. Once the Diesel engine is running you do not need electricitry to keep it running. However, modern diesel engines have computers controlling many of the functions of the engine and that would cause it to fail if there was no electricity. Old diesel engines did not have computers and would keep running even if your battry went flat because your alternator died. Just dont turn it off because the starter needs electricity :P
YES. But due to carbon build up and blow back within a diesel engine you will still need to keep to your oil change scedual and can not extend it. Diesel oil turns black quickly.
Depends. An older Diesel is likely to keep running. A modern, with a full set of electronic engine diagnostic might not.
Absolutely yes, there are even aftermarket dash mount scanners available.
The diesel engine works by compressing the fuel and air mixture inside a piston cylinder. Compressing the mixtures raises its temperature. When the temperature reaches the fuels ignition point, it ignites, explodes and pushes the cylinder back.A gasoline engine works similarly but needs a high voltage spark from an ignition system to ignite the fuel.What is good about the diesel engine:The diesel engine does not need a complex electrical system to keep the engine running.Diesel powered vehicles do use a battery to start the engine turning, once the engine starts it is no longer needed.A diesel engine does not need spark plugs and distributor system to keep running although it does use glow plugs to help it start when the engine is too cold.Diesel engine fuel is cheaper to use than gasoline (petrol). Some people even use home heating oil to power a diesel engine (after passing it through a filter to remove sediment).A diesel engine has a higher compression ratio in the cylinder making it more efficient than a gasoline powered engine.
Hopefully you haven't run it yet, so drain the tank and flush the fuel lines to keep the diesel out of the engine. If you have run it, consult a mechanic. You may have to break down the engine.
Your diesel vehicle might keep running after turning off the key because there is still enough fuel in the system to allow it to idle. In many diesel vehicles, the engine is stopped by choking the fuel.
u cant the immobilizer is built into the engine mine went i had to keep inserting the key in and out of the ignition
