First off, DO NOT run this engine or serious damage will occur. Drain the fuel tank, blow out all the fuel lines, replace the fuel filter, and remove as much fuel as possible from all fuel components. Pour in a fresh supply of diesel and start it up.
In most areas of the country, regular gasoline and diesel are about the same price. Therefore a diesel truck will have similar operating expenses to one that uses regular gasoline.
The advantage of a diesel truck is that diesel burns more efficiently than regular gasoline. However, parts and service for a diesel truck are sometimes higher.
definitley diesel its a much more effecient engine and surprisingly burns much cleaner than gasoline especially in performance if you put 5grand into a diesel truck your lookin at close to 30 mpgs or more as to were a gasoline engine would be getting only about 8
The gasoline will cause damage to the injection pump due to lack of lubricity. If mixed with diesel the gasoline will cause higher combustion temperatures and can cause valve damage, piston scoring and heating problems with the engine.Putting 100% straight gasoline in a diesel engine, if it can be started, it will not run for long and it will be permanently damaged.For more information please see the answer to the Related Question shown below.
Probably blow engine gasoline has a much lower flash point than diesel fuel
get that gas out of there as much as you can and then fill it with diesel a little regular gas will be ok and is ok to mix with diesel and will actauly clean it a little
Drain the tank, change the fuel filter, refill with diesel.
The Ford 5.4 liter V8 engine is a ( GASOLINE ENGINE )
Diesel engines get better fuel economy because they do not need to burn as much fuel as a gas engine to get the same power. By design a supercharged engine will produce more power whether it be gasoline or diesel. A diesel engine has more torque at lower rpm than gas engines and therefore uses less fuel. The correct answer is YES.
No, you cannot put regular fuel into a diesel engine, because the two fuels burn at different temperatures. You can try cleaning your engine, they make products to remove buildup, and this will help your mileage.
Drain out all of the gas, change fuel filter, add diesel, prime system, cross fingers, start, and hope for no other problems
Most large trucks use diesel fuel. Some also use regular gasoline, and some specialized truck run on compressed natural gas.
