Can a diesel gearbox be used with a petrol engine?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It will physically fit as many diesel engines share the same blocks, but the gear ratios will be unsuitable, due to the reduced effective rev range of a diesel compared to the petrol engine. In short, will probably fit, won't work

First thing to have checked is your battery! See if it is fully charged and holding a charge. Check simple things before moving to more difficult. Check your glow plugs ie( heating plug) weather its working or not if it fails u 'll face this problem. u can check with battery and a wire with passing the current. if the spark is produced in glow plug it works or it does not . any quires let me know

Usually, the line feeding the recepticle has a collar that simply slips back away from the recepticle (You may have to push the line forward and then pull back on the collar.) Then it should release.

What to do if you put petrol into a diesel car?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I very recently did this so have done a lot of research - my car is still outside waiting for me to put it right. It all seems to depend on who you ask. Many people will tell you that you need to drain the whole system etc etc. However, I have asked a few mechanics and it all depends upon how much petrol you have added. I am told that in cold countries drivers add petrol to diesel to prevent waxing - as long as it is less than 10% petrol to diesel it is OK. I put 7 litres of petrol in a diesel engine. The AA told me I had to have it drained completely, flushed and bled. I could not afford all this so topped it up with diesel and drove it home (about 2 K). Local mechanics told me to dilute it as much as pos and drive it but keep diluting it. I am not taking any chances. i am going to syphon off as much of the petrol and diesel mix as possible and fill it with pure diesel thereby avoiding the very large garage fees involved in drainage, flushing and bleeding. If people add a 10% mix i am sure I can get it down to less than this and it will be OK. I am sorry this is not a more informed answer but after asking a lot of people it is the best I can come up with. Best of luck.

Where is the fuel pump relay on a 1994 Honda Accord?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Not for sure, but on my 94 Accord it is located under the driver side dash. use this website (http://autorepair.about.com/cs/doityourself/l/bl_hmr_1.htm) to get an idea what you are looking for and how to get there. The article is very informative but was off on the actual location on my vehicle. Mainly use the photos and look hard under the dash for a similar relay. Also when you find don't bother with trying to buy a new one just open up the relay and resolder any brocken joints, usually just the solder on the main blades is broken. That will fix it.

How do you siphon gas from a gas tank?

Asked by Wiki User

Most vehicles these days make it impossible to run a syphon hose down the filler neck so, when I have to drain a fuel tank (for whatever reason) I disconnect the filler tube from the tank and go directly into the tank with the syphon hose.

Why would a diesel car lose power and is there any timing adjustment on diesel cars?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A dirty air filter will cause a lost of power, also a clogged fuel filter will - Yes there are timing marks - but they are on the injector pump & usally don't change unless the hold down is lose. A good injector cleaner is a good idea to use when you fill-up.

How do you set the timing on a 1991 Chevy 454?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This requires a set of special cam hold-down tools for holding the cams in place and the cam sprockets while removing the sprocket bolts. The procedure is quite extensive. Take a look here for a detailed walkthrough with pictures. http://www.60degreev6.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=DOHC&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid=12&page=1 For stock timing you must use the cam hold-down tools to keep the flats on top of each pair of cams parallel to each other. Done one side, turn the engine 360 degrees, then do the other side, so that the left side cams will have the flats facing up while the right side cams have the flats facing down. Good luck!

How often do you need to change your clow plugs in a diesel engine?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The best answer is to follow the recommendations for maintenance in your particular car's owner's manual. A rule of thumb is every 30,000 miles for standard plugs and 60,000 for platinum or other precious metal plugs.

Don't forget the ignition system's secondary wiring. Worn plugs and damaged wires can cause ignition coils and other ignition components to fail prematurely.

Turn the ignition on and see if you hear a humming coming from the pump. If it is inside the fuel tank, you can hear it from the back seat.

How can you tell if the fuel injectors are bad?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

i had a faulty diesel injector on my 2.4jtd it had done 110000 miles.

the faults on a diesel are it sounds like a tractor as most new deisels run quite quiet, the engine shakes like mad, very bad mpg, unburned diesel smoke out exhaust when the injector fails and sometimes no fault will regester on the comp when hooked up. mine did not took months to find what was at fault. i also advise to clean egr valve out on routine every 6 months as they are bad for sooting and sticking open.

im not sure the fault on petrol cars but im sure it will also have a missfiring problem and unspent fuel out of exhaust and lack of mpg.

listen for a clacking noise like the piece of plastic u used to put on ur back wheel of ur push bike. mine sounded like a more intense version than that. ford mondeo's are prone to injector faults in there deisels.

running cars on low dirty fuel is a major cause of these problems.

i would say to anyone put injector cleaner in and run high revs aslong as it does not sound too badly damaged it could just be a blocked injector and new injectors are not exactly cheap. mine cost £300 then the labour cost of fitting it

hope this helps for any unlucky people who have this fault.

What happens if Regular gasoline is put in my Power Stroke instead of Diesel?

If you are lucky the engine stalls. If you are unlucky the gasoline detonates, bending rods, blowing head gaskets, breaking pistons, etc. The injection system may also suffer.

Why do gas stations change prices so quickly?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

To fully understand this is to know the term Supply and demand ... Supply and demand is when you have a lot of one thing and there's not a lot around like oil, gold or sliver etc ... the more people want the oil compounded by that lack of it will raise the price of it ...

Why is gas prices going back up?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

For the most part, our gas prices do not follow any sort of documented pattern. While it has been great watching prices plummet over these past couple of months, this has less to do with demand, or supply because OPEC is a protected cartel. They set the price and we pay it, or go without gas. The problem, however, is when they keep the price high people start talking about alternative sources of energy ect, like we saw during the election. This is bad for them because they rely on our dependency for oil. Consequently they begin to lower the price, but that's not to say they won't raise it again once they feel our memories have been erased, ect.
