It won't really hurt the engine.... unless you run it long term... Unfortunately you can't burn diesel well in a petrol engine.... It will smoke alot and miss and have weak power... best thing to do if it was accidental is to top it off with petrol... and when it is half tank... top it off again.... then change the fuel filter.
Another idea is to add a double dose of octane booster.... it should help with the smoking and missing
Petrol in a diesel engine will destroy the engine.
No, diesel engine require diesel fuel. Put petrol in a diesel engine and you will destroy it.
No, you cannot convert a petrol to burn diesel.
If you use Petrol or Gasoline in a Diesel engine you will destroy that engine. That is why you do not use it.
No, a diesel is a compression firing engine and a petrol is a spark firing engine. Diesel fuel will not burn in a petrol engine with spark plugs.
No. A petrol or gasoline engine will not run on diesel fuel.
Because one has a petrol engine and the other has a diesel engine. Petrol/gasoline does not ignite the same way as diesel. It also does not have the lubrication qualities that diesel has. Gas in a diesel engine will damage the fuel system if the diesel very quickly.
because a diesel engine ignites its fuel with pressure, and not with a spark like a petrol engine. that is why a petrol engine does not need as high a compression ratio as a diesel engine
What happens is you must remove the petrol immediately. Petrol or gasoline will destroy a diesel engine.
NO! It will not run on diesel.
NO! It will not run on diesel.
If the engine has spark plug it is said to be petrol engine, and if it has a pump to inject fuel then it is diesel engine.
