It depends on how low your fuel level dropped. You may need to re-prime the fuel pump/pipes. Also, there is the chance that due to condensation in the fuel tank (which can be a particular problem with diesel) water may have been drawn into the fuel system, this would need to be drained off (particularly at the fuel filter).

What happens when you put in unleaded gas instead of diesel gas?

The engine won't run well and - depending on how much wrong fuel you put in - the diesel engine could end-up badly damaged if try to run it more than a few seconds.Unleaded gas is simply not suitable to run a diesel engine. Engines which run on unleaded use a much lower compression ratio than diesel engines.You need to drain the tank and the whole fuel delivery system and then refill the tank with diesel.For more information please see the answer to the Related Question shown below.

What happens if petrol used in a diesel micra?

Don't run the engine any more. contact the dealership as you may need to clean out the fuel filter, carb and drain the tank BUT not as bad as doing it the other way around. Diesel into a petrol car definitely means cleaning tank, filters,carb and engine. If it is only a small amount you may be able to top up with diesel and run mixture through but filter may still be damaged. Get quotes for work though as you can drain some petrol tanks and then refill with diesel and afterwards change the fuel filter if damaged. Consider also any warranty you may have that could be invalid if not done by main dealer. Good luck.
