Will leaded gas in unleaded motor damage the motor in any way?
If you managed to find any leaded gas then No, it will not hurt anything.
Can you used leaded petrol in lieu of unleaded in an emergency?
Yes. The biggest risk of leaded gas is that you will "poison" the catalytic converter, meaning that you'll flunk your next emissions test. However, apparently you might get away with using a couple of gallons. Otherwise, occasional use of leaded fuel shouldn't hurt your engine. If I were stuck in the middle of the Amazon with an empty gas tank, I'd definitely accept any leaded fuel that came my way. Be aware that most pumps that still sell leaded gas use larger nozzles (deliberately) that won't fit in the fuel filler of unleaded cars. So you'll need a long funnel or something like that.
If I put in unleaded gas into a 2004 Volkswagen Jetta VR6 would that severely damage the car?
No. It requires unleaded. If you put in leaded the only thing it would hurt was the catalytic converter. There is no on-highway leaded gas anymore--it's illegal to sell it. Aviation gasoline is leaded, as is racing fuel, but not road gas. The VR6 has two knock sensors on it. Knock, which is caused by running too low octane, trashes engines, and the knock sensors are there to retard the spark and get rid of knock. You won't hurt the engine by putting regular unleaded in it, but it won't run as well as it could with more-expensive gas in it.
What happens if you put unleaded petrol in your car instead of leaded?
Where are you at? I haven't seen leaded gas or petrol since I was in grade school. They used to call it "regular" and there was that and diesel until they decided the lead in gasoline was bad for us and started offering unleaded. Eventually, every gas station in the U.S. phased regular gas out. If you have an old car from the days of leaded petrol, you'll probably have to put unleaded in it some time (unless you live in a country where they still have leaded gas at the stations). If you put unleaded gas in an old car, you can get a fuel additive to protect the engine from the harsher fuel. Over time, using unleaded in an old engine can cause some of the gaskets to dry out and start leaking. It won't hurt just one time, but it's an accumulative effect if you do it all the time.
What happens if you put diesel fuel injector cleaner into a unleaded car?
Diesel fuel injector cleaner will not hurt your unleaded gas motor. The diesel fuel injector cleaner is basically the same as your unleaded injector cleaner.
Will unleaded gas hurt a lawnmower made for leaded?
Yes most likely it will If it is equipped with a catalytic converter. I doubt it is that high tech. If it isn't, don't worry. It might say unleaded, but that is because it doesn't need lead, and also because unleaded is the standard these days. All gasoline engines can run on leaded, unless a catalytic converter is installed.
Will jet fuel in your car hurt the engine?
You'll just end up having to flush it out, because it won't ignite. However, if it's injected while mixed with unleaded gasoline, it could cause detonation in the cylinders, which could wreck your engine.
Pontiac filled with diesel instead of gasoline used?
If you filled it with more than a couple of gallons, you will need to drain the fuel tank and fill it up with unleaded fuel. It will not hurt the engine to run it with the little diesel left in the tank. You may also have the drain all the fuel lines to get it started. I would also replace the fuel filter.
You put regular unleaded in your S2000 by accident will it hurt the engine It was 87 octane?
No, it won't hurt your engine. There are computers now that can predict when to fire a spark plug to reduce ping. It is not a good thing though, you will get worse gas mileage and cause greater emmisions. Better to put high octane in there.
Dose turning the fuel screw on a 12 valve cummins hurt your motor?
Turning the fuel screw on a Cummins will determine the fuel flow tot he engine. If the screw is set too high of low then the engine will not run properly and could cause engine damage.
What happens if you put jet fuel in a car?
A man in new jersey tested this out and was disappointed to find out the engine stalls and does nothing. Also it will not hurt the engine.
Do you use 89 90 or 92 unleaded on a 2000 mercury 25 hp motor?
The 2000 model, Mercury 25 hp outboard, requires a minimum octane 89 rated, unleaded fuel, however, with the quality of gasoline being what is presently, it would not hurt to run the higher octane fuels.
