Best Answer

Gasoline will not dissolve the carbon deposits that clog the injectors but it will cause your engine to not start.

Can you add oil if you put gas in a diesel engine?

Putting gas in a diesel engine will not be fixed by adding oil. The fuel needs to be drained or pumped out if the mixture is too high. If only a few liters of gasoline were put into a tank of diesel, adding a diesel fuel conditioner could help. Gasoline will damage diesel fuel pumps and injectors because it does not have the lubricating properties of diesel. The fuel pump and injectors need lubrication from the diesel fuel or they will seize up and be destroyed.

unscrew the injector lines from the top of the diesel injectors, and from the injection pump. The diesel injectors can be removed with a 27mm deep socket ratchet head, or a 27mm wrench. Be very, VERY careful to keep the threads clean or you can crack the head when putting new injectors in. If your injectors are bad, they've also probably damaged your glow plugs. You should probably replace them too (they're just under the injectors on the front of the cylinder head).
