A little bit, like a liter - nothing will happen.

A little more - lots of smoke and engine knocking. Drain the tank if it knocks.

A lot of diesel - engine won't start or run. It won't hurt anything, but has to be pumped out. The residue will burn OK. There's no reason to change any parts, just drain an refill the tank.

If you accidentally put unleaded gasoline in a diesel engine and then drain the fuel out is there anything else that you have to do before refilling with diesel?

no... a diesel will run a lot better on gasoline than a gasoline motor will run on diesel... If you fill it with diesel fuel you should have no problems Correct. You should not have any problems after draining tank and refilling. If you started the vehicle or tried to start the vehicle it may not be a bad idea to change the fuel filter. If you ran the vehicle on the diesel - gasoline mix until it died before you realized what happened it is possible (but not likely) to have internal damage; but at this point there is nothing you can do but drain the fuel, change filter, refuel, and see what happens.

What do you do if you accidentally put petro in a diesel car?

It depends how much petrol was put in. If it was a "full tank" draining the tank and the system would be advisable. If it was just a small amount, the mixture can be cut by adding more diesel with some motor oil mixed into it It is a common practice in times of diesel shortages to use motor oil with a small amount of gasoline added to it in place of diesel. You will have to use your own judgment as to how much diesel and/or oil to add.

Will it backfire if disel is in a gas motor?

If you fill a gasoline engine with diesel, you will normally be able to start the car and drive a few miles, but after a short amount of time the car will die out. There will likely be no permanent damage to the car. If it was gasoline in a diesel motor, it would be much worse.

Yes Gas does not burn completely in the diesel motor. The unburned gas can then backfire suddenly through your exhaust while driving. I know.

How is a gasoline engine different from a diesel engine?

A gas engine ignites gasoline in the piston chamber with a spark from a spark plug. The expanding gas then pushes the piston out and the motor moves forward. A diesel engine uses diesel fuel, different from gasoline, and the fuel is compressed by the piston until it ignites, sending the piston out. There are no spark plugs in a a diesel engine. Some diesel engines will have "glow plugs" which are used to initially start the engine but once started, compressing the fuel is the method of ignition.
