in general gasoline will affect on any diesel component that combine rubber seals ,rubber '0" rings ,and if engine its capable of running will damaged pistons connecting rods by bending them / if you come to this mistake do not crank or start the engine ,towed to your mechanic and have him flush the entire system.

What happens if you put unleaded gasoline in a diesel car?
Diesel engines have a much higher compression ratio than gasoline engines. Therefore, you need to drain all the fuel you can out of your tank and fill it with diesel. Gas in a diesel engine will go boom, and destroy your engine.
Does disel engines have a higher cc compared to petrol engines?
No..the compression ratio is much higher eg a small petrol engine will have a ratio of 8:1 where a diesel small engine has around 17:1..
Why diesel engine car is costlier than petrol engine car?
Due to the increase in the compression ratio of a diesel which fires on compression rather than spark, the engine is built much stronger than a petrol engine. It therefore just costs more to manufacture.
How much compression should a diesel have?
A diesel engine requires at least a 20:1 compression ratio, or about double a gasoline engine. The PSI this translates to depends on the size of the cylinder. You will need to consult the manufacturer's service manual.
What if diesel is put in a gasoline engine?
Diesel in a gasoline engine will not harm the engine other than that, depending on how much diesel you put in the tank, it will simply not run. It may clog the fuel filter or injectors but will do no other damage. Drain the tank and fill it up with gasoline if you put in over a couple of gallons.
You put regular gas in your john deere diesel engine what do you do?
If you did not start the engine no harm has been done. Drain the fuel tank, and all the fuel lines. Get as much of the gas out as possible. Fill it up with diesel and you should be ok.
How does a diesel engine differ from a gasoline engine?
A diesel engine fires from compression and not from a spark. A diesel engine is also built much stronger than a gasoline engine. Diesel engines normally have less horsepower than a gasoline engine but have much more torc, or pulling power.
How much does a diesel city bus engine weigh?
A standard diesel engine weighs 798 lbs
Why diesel engine is more better than petrol engine?
because diesel engine has the maximum efficiency than petrol engine. also diesel engine can handle more load than petrol,as we can see in case in case of heavy vehicles. --- Fuel Savings result because the Air to Fuel ratio is MUCH more "lean" (more air) in a Diesel than in a gasoline/petrol engine. At idle, the optimal mixture for gasoline is 14.7 parts of AIR to one part FUEL. Compare that to a Diesel engine, where the ratio is 50:1, and you'll note a significant savings. --- Other Advantages: Diesel designed his engine to run on virtually any available fuel (e.g.; vegetable oil) for times of short supply of petrol/gasoline. The diesel engine has higher TORQUE, meaning that it can haul larger loads than a gas/petrol engine. There is no Ignition Circuit to fail on a diesel engine. The ignition is achieved by compression and a "glow plug" which remains heated between piston cycles. ---
Can you convert a jeep in line six to diesel?
No, you cannot convert a gas engine to a diesel engine. A diesel requires much stronger parts.
What happens if you mix a couple gallons of diesel gas with regular gas in your car?
If you have a diesel powered engine then nothing much would happen, the car would run a little richer than it should but will pass when you fill up again. If you car is NOT diesel then you may have an issue. I suggest flushing out your gas tank right away. It may not harm it right away, but if you continue to add diesel it will definitely harm your engine. But like i said, a diesel engine can handle normal fuel mixed in, it is actually advised to do so in cold weather so it makes it easier to start the car.
What is the difference between a diesel and an unleaded engine?
A gasoline engine intakes a mixture of gas and air, compresses it and ignites the mixture with a spark. A diesel engine takes in just air, compresses it and then injects fuel into the compressed air. The heat of the compressed air lights the fuel spontaneously. A diesel has not spark plugs. A gasoline engine compresses at a ratio of 8:1 to 12:1, while a diesel engine compresses at a ratio of 14:1 to as high as 25:1. The higher compression ratio of the diesel engine leads to better efficiency. Because of the higher compression ration, a diesel is built with much stronger components and tends to last much longer than a gasoline engine. Diesel fuel is a combustable, meaning that heat and pressure create an explosion, Lamp oil and Jet fuel are also combustables, diesles can opperate on about any combustable liquid if nessisary. Unleaded Gas is a flamable, meaning an open flame or spark causes an explosion, alcohol and propane are flamable as well but gas engines need some modifications to run on them.
