Your car will very soon stop running. Then you will have to go to a mechanic/garage to empty the gas tank and put the right fuel in it. The same thing will happen if you put petrol in diesel engine. My co-workers did BOTH of these things on our company cars at different times by accident. Both cars worked after they emptied tanks and put the right fuel in them.
the engine wont work coz the property of diesel fuel is that,it ignites only at a high compression ratio (around 17-19:1),whereas a petrol engine has a compression ratio of 9:1(+/- 2).so less compression results in less pressure and lesser temperature.

Can you use diesel engine instead of petrol engine with using injector instead of spark plug?
No!
Why is diesel is not used in petrol engines?
Because diesel is ignited of heat and high high compresion not a spark on lower compresion petrol engine. If you use diesel in a petrol you will end up with your engine knocking and pre-detonation followed by your engine blowing up pretty bad.
What happen when use mixture of argon gas and petrol in place of mixture of oxygen and petrol in petrol engine?
big boom, that what happen
Why petrol csnnot be used in diese engine?
The diesel engine is designed to use diesel, which reaches combustion at high (relatively to petrol) pressure and temperature. If petrol is injected into a diesel engine, then combustion will take place in a, very different than it was designed, way, which will eventually destroy the engine. But there are engines that have been designed to burn diesel or petrol. They call them bifuel engines. Old farmer tractors used to have this kind of engines.
Is it possible to use petrol and diesel as fuel in same engine?
No pressure requirements for diesel much greater.There were some farm tractors built in the 1940's that started on gasoline (petrol), and switched to diesel when the engine was warmed up. So it is possible.
What happen when petrol fuel is use in diesel engine?
Petrol in a diesel engine will destroy the engine.
Why not use petrol in diesel engine?
If you use Petrol or Gasoline in a Diesel engine you will destroy that engine. That is why you do not use it.
Is it possible to use diesel in petrol engine?
No. A petrol or gasoline engine will not run on diesel fuel.
Can a petrol engine use diesel?
NO! It will not run on diesel.
Can you use diesel in petrol engine?
NO! It will not run on 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 you cannot use diesel in petrol engine?
A gasoline engine will not run on diesel and a diesel engine will be destroyed if you run it on gasoline. Click the link.
What happens when you use petrol in diesel engine?
Your car breaks down and you cant move at all until you find a garage then it costs a fortune! Running petrol in a diesel engine will destroy that diesel engine.
Can a petrol electric fuel be used for diesel?
I don't know what a 'petrol electric fuel' might be. You certainly can't use petrol in a diesel engine.
Is it possible to use petrol in diesel and diesel in petrol engine?
No pressure requirements for diesel much greater.There were some farm tractors built in the 1940's that started on gasoline (petrol), and switched to diesel when the engine was warmed up. So it is possible.
Why cant you use petrol and diesel together?
A Petrol engine use petrol that it ignites to cause an explosion in the cylinders, where the diesel engine works by compressing the mix of diesel and air, expose this to heat to make it explode but over a longer time. So a diesel engine has no spark plugs. The diesel needs pressure and heat, while petrol is explosive, will explode. So the two cannot be used together.
Can you use petrol for 4 cylinder 4 stroke diesel engine?
No.
