I am out of oil with a delivery scheduled for tomorrow. I went out to the shed to get a 5 gallon can and found a 5 gallon kerosene can filled. I have no smell therefore can not tell if the clear liquid is kerosene or gasoline. I hate to throw it away if it is kerosene, I could burn it in the heater

What do you need to do if you accidentally put diesel fuel in your gasoline car and it will not crank now?
I'm afraid you need to clean the whole system out. This is a job for a garage as they have to drain the fuel tank and clean it out. Then they have to flush the fuel lines all the way to the injectors and finally change the fuel filter(s). Diesel fuel is not the same as gasoline and works completely differently. They don't "mix". Sorry.

What happens when you put in diesel fuel instead of regular unleaded gasoline?
The answer to the question of: "What happens when you put in diesel gas instead of regular unleaded?" is this...Diesel fuel (engines) rely on compression to ignite it. It isn't necessarily flammable.Gasoline relies on a spark from a spark plug. Diesel engines have a higher compression ratio than gasoline engines do, and thus provide more torque to the drivetrain (that's why 18 wheelers use diesel engines, instead of gasoline engines).So, if you put diesel fuel into a gasoline engine, there's not nearly enough compression to ignite the fuel. Probably the only thing that would happen is that your gasoline car or truck would run very rough for a time before all of the diesel fuel runs out.If you accidentally put diesel fuel into a gasoline fuel tank, the best thing to do is siphon it out.Finally, I can't imagine anyone accidentally putting diesel into a gas car since the diesel nozzle at the pump is a lot bigger than the gasoline nozzle...and it's that way for a reason. ;-)Though it does still happen every day when people fill up their cars without thinking exactly what they doing...For more information please see the answer to the Related Question shown below.I did this stupid thing today.
