If your car is not a Diesel, YES! It will harm your car. Diesel fuel is less refined than conventional gas. It has contaminants and water in it. You may end up with carburetor problems, and if you have fuel injecion you may have a very costly fuel injector repair on your hands. Please only use the fuel recommended for your car. Most cars nowadays have that printed on the inside of the gas tank door where the cap is.
The tank is not venting properly.
Even a small amount of diesel in a gas tank can cause problems. The fuel filter may gum up, as well as the fuel injectors.
Replace sending unit.
The Malibu might have a problem with the vapor canister. If the canister is clogged up the fuel tank will not vent right and the car will be hard to start.
A fortwo petrol driven model is about 795 kilograms. If diesel, it reaches 830 kg. These without driver and full tank.
yes
Drain the whole thing ... the two fluids mix well. (but a few percent diesel will not hurt a gas engine.)
Mix it with the fuel, usually just put it in the fuel tank just before filling up with fuel
Assuming it was not a vandal that did that, then no.
Diesel and fuel oil are both refined petroleum products used as energy sources, but they differ in composition, application, and performance characteristics. Diesel fuel, also known as Automotive Diesel Oil (ADO), is a lighter fraction obtained during crude oil refining. It has a lower viscosity and a higher volatility, allowing it to ignite easily under compression. Diesel is primarily used in internal combustion engines found in vehicles, generators, and industrial equipment. It burns cleanly and efficiently, producing high energy output with relatively low emissions when compared to heavier fuels. Fuel oil, on the other hand, generally refers to heavier fractions of crude oil such as Marine Fuel Oil (MFO) or Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO). It is more viscous and requires preheating before use. Fuel oils are typically used in ships, large industrial boilers, and power plants where high heat energy is required. These fuels are less refined, contain more impurities, and produce higher levels of sulfur and particulate emissions. In summary, diesel is a cleaner, lighter, and more efficient fuel designed for smaller engines and mobile applications, while fuel oil is heavier, cheaper, and better suited for large-scale stationary or marine operations. — PETRO Industrial (petroinddotcom): Your trusted bulk fuel storage and transfer specialists.
No. Do not put unleaded gas in a diesel tank.
you fill gas in it
if you mistakenly put gas in tank instead of diesel, just drain or syphon gas out of tank refill with diesel and go on the gas will actually clean injectors but wont do any damage to the engine gasoline used to be added to diesel by truckers, in the winter to stop diesel from gelling. you make get some black smoke from exhaust till gasoline is gone ,but a little gas wont hurt the engine
The tank is not venting properly.
2001 ford diesel has a 36 gallon tank
yes if there is hole in the diesel tank in motor
it is under the car,near the diesel tank
