Check the fuel inlet area - if the car is supposed to run on diesel, it may state "Diesel Fuel Only". If it doesn't, chances are that it takes normal everyday fuel.
yes it is thinner because diesel has more particles in it that petrol does which makes just that little bit thicker.:)
Oil is just as important to a diesel engine as it is to a petrol engine
No, it is not better it is just another type fuel.
2.4 petrol is better than 2.2 TD in my opinion.. I just replaced my 2.3TD with a petrol.. 2.4 petrol is better than 2.2 TD in my opinion.. I just replaced my 2.2TD with a petrol..
Siphon it all out. Petrol (Gas) and diesel mix incredibly well so it is impossible to siphon off just the petrol, you need to remove the whole lot and then full it up with diesel.Depending on how old the car/truck is, it will respond differently to having petrol go through it. Newer direct injection/common rail/turbo diesels will not like having petrol run through them at all, and might mean replacing both the high and low pressure pumps(Diesel acts as a lubricant for these and when petrol is run through them it washes all the lube away) and the turbo etc. Older diesels might get away with running a bit of petrol through them, but again it is recommended removing all the petrol and just putting diesel in.Even putting a small amount of petrol in a diesel tank will dilute the lubricating power of diesel and may damage parts.In short, when you put petrol in a diesel, grab yourself some hose and siphon it all out!
If you have a diesel engine and fill it with petrol, it can explode. The petrol is gasoline with added chemicals to make it explode by the ignition made by the spark plug, causing the cylinders to move, that then powers your car. The diesel engine works differently, in that it has a heat plug that ensures heat in the chamber, the reverse movement of the cylinder cause an increase in pressure until it reaches the point where combustion takes place. Diesel on a petrol engine may wreck all the electronics, valves - because it will not ignite. The reason for preferring diesel engines on a boat is just that the diesel vapor needs pressure and heat to explode, not just a tiny spark.
Who cares it's a cheapskate diesel. Grow a pair and get a turbo charged petrol engine, just compare like for like so take your 2.0 ltr diesel and look at the equivalent 2.0ltr petrol it will make the diesel look poor. Its a diesel get over it.
Diesel just like gasoline and kerosene are a refinement of crude oil. Diesel is known as 'diesel oil' or 'heavy oil' and is the heaviest distillate of crude oil. Petrol is a spirit and is the lightest distillate.
You dont say petrol or diesel But petrol under plastic cover on the right 32mm filter cover Diesel remove lower engine cover and its in the centre just above the driveshaft 32mm again
Petrol cars rev higher so they are usually faster, but diesel cars have more torque so can pull heavy weights better. Top speed is better in a petrol, but because diesel cars have turbo charges, some are just as fast.
Diesel cars cannot run on petrol. If you went to a petrol gas station, your car cannot run. You will probably screw up the engine. SO NEVER EVER USE PETROL GAS FOR DIESEL ENGINED CARS!The reason being the diesel engine works at very high compression ratios and the petrol is having a lower value of FLASH point so it will burn off even before the end of the compression stroke.Yes, for just a little while until it self destructs and is ruined.
The petrol engine will just not run. No damage will be done. You will need to drain the tank, flush the fuel lines, and replace the fuel filter.
