But What About the Opposite: Putting Diesel Fuel in a Gasoline Engine?
# Y1 J6 D& [% H
" U" y7 _# Q4 E5 k; j2 a9 H7 zFortunately, this one is almost impossible (notice we said almost), since the filler nozzles on diesel fuel dispensers are larger than those on gasoline pumps. The typical slow-fill diesel pump nozzle is 15/16" (24 cm)--fast-fill truck nozzles are even larger, well over 1-inch (25 cm), while the nozzle for a gasoline pump is about 13/16" (21 cm). Simply put, a large diesel spout won't fit in a narrow gasoline filler neck, while a smaller diameter gasoline snout will slip right in a diesel tank opening.3 E" h3 ?( Z: v! m- I2 r
; E4 f0 w: c, `! qBut if you do manage to get diesel fuel in your gasoline tank, (and this also is dilution dependent) the engine will probably not even start--and if it does, it'll run terribly and probably smoke like a chimney. Engine damage will probably be minimal to none, but a thorough (and expensive) fuel system flush will certainly be in order.9 K+ U8 \ ~) s/ a: W
