If you dip your finger into it, the gas will evaporate quite quickly, whereas the diesel won't. Also, they smell quite different, but then you'd need to know what they smelled like in the first place. Also, gas will burn easily if you tip a little out and set a match to it (careful - could be dangerous) whereas diesel is very difficult to light if you don't make a wick.

How do we know if our Chevy g25 van is gas or diesel?

Answer There is no mistaking the sound a Diesel motor makes in comparision to a gas motor. If you listen to the motor and still don't know, go look at the tail pipe. On a car or truck motor the tail pipe is about 1 inch in diameter, but on a Diesel motor the tail pipe is about 2 inches around. Gas motors run quiet, on the other hand Diesel motors sound loud and clickety clank. Hope you understand. If not go to any gas station they will tell you what motor you have.
