If you put diesel in a petrol generator, the engine may fail to start or run poorly, as diesel fuel has different combustion properties than petrol. Diesel can cause damage to the spark plugs and fuel system components, leading to costly repairs. Additionally, the generator may emit excessive smoke and could potentially seize up if run on the wrong fuel. It's important to drain the system and clean it thoroughly before attempting to use the generator again.
