If you filled it with more than a couple of gallons, you will need to drain the fuel tank and fill it up with unleaded fuel. It will not hurt the engine to run it with the little diesel left in the tank. You may also have the drain all the fuel lines to get it started. I would also replace the fuel filter.

What happens when you put regular gas into a Chevy silverado diesel trucks?

DO NOT put gasoline into a Diesel Engine... EVER. Gasoline engines work on the principle of Combustion caused by compressing gasoline and oxygen and then adding a spark to cause a controlled explosion called "Combustion" Diesel engines do not use a spark to ignite the fuel. Diesel fuel will combust on its own when under pressure and heat. The Glow Plugs in your engine provide the initial heat to start the combustion process, but once the Engine is started, the glow plugs shut off and it is just a process of Heat generated by the previous "explosion" and the compression of the fuel and oxygen. If you put gasoline into a Diesel engine, it will not start, and if by chance it did, The thermal (explosive) properties of gasoline are very different from a Diesel fuel and you would probably destroy the engine. If you have put only a small amount, say a quart or so, your worries are small. Fill the tank the rest of the way with diesel and run it. A small amount of gasoline will not hurt a diesel engine. In fact, the US Army, back when the engines were diesel and not multifuel, typically had the practice of adding a quart to a gallon of gasoline to diesel truck tanks in the winter to prevent foaming. If you have filled the tank with gasoline, however, do not turn the engine over. Drain the tank and refill it with diesel.

What will happen if diesel filled in petrol engine?

the engine will not run because of three reasons. 1. Diesel uses more compression than the petrol engine does 2. the diesel engines fuel to air mixture is 1:1 and petrol isn't 3. diesel engines use straight compression or glow plugs instead of spark plugs


Why not diesel engine is spark ignited?

A gasoline injects fuel into the cylinder as it is filled with air, compresses it, then ignites the spark plug to trigger the power stroke. In a diesel engine air is compressed up to 3 times more causing a much higher cylinder temp. Once the air in the cylinder is hot diesel fuel is injected directly into the cylinder and is ignited by the high temperature.
