What happen if you fuel small amount of diesel instead of gasoline in gasoline car?

if it is only a small amount of diesel (say no more than a gallon) them all you have to do is fill the take right up to the brim with gasoline, it may have a small misfire while it runs the diesel through the system as it will have a much lower octane, If there is quite a bit of diesel in there (anymore than a gallon) then I would recommend draining the tank somehow before filling it up with gasoline

Are hybrid cars diesel?
While it would be possible to build a hybrid car using a diesel engine instead of the gasoline engine, I do not believe any manufacturers are doing it. This may be because of problems with reliably restarting a diesel engine after stopping it that don't happen with gasoline engines, but I'm not certain.

Flex fuel does not mean you can use diesel. It means the engine can run on pure gasoline or on E85 gasoline. If you put diesel in this vehicle it simply will not run. Diesel can only be used in a diesel engine.

What happens when you put in diesel fuel instead of regular unleaded gasoline?
The answer to the question of: "What happens when you put in diesel gas instead of regular unleaded?" is this...Diesel fuel (engines) rely on compression to ignite it. It isn't necessarily flammable.Gasoline relies on a spark from a spark plug. Diesel engines have a higher compression ratio than gasoline engines do, and thus provide more torque to the drivetrain (that's why 18 wheelers use diesel engines, instead of gasoline engines).So, if you put diesel fuel into a gasoline engine, there's not nearly enough compression to ignite the fuel. Probably the only thing that would happen is that your gasoline car or truck would run very rough for a time before all of the diesel fuel runs out.If you accidentally put diesel fuel into a gasoline fuel tank, the best thing to do is siphon it out.Finally, I can't imagine anyone accidentally putting diesel into a gas car since the diesel nozzle at the pump is a lot bigger than the gasoline nozzle...and it's that way for a reason. ;-)Though it does still happen every day when people fill up their cars without thinking exactly what they doing...For more information please see the answer to the Related Question shown below.I did this stupid thing today. It costs me 800 USD in the Toyota dealer. I did some internet search earlier. It would cost a lot fewer if you go other places. It would be no more than 500 USD. Be aware of this. Good luck!

Petrol or gasoline in a diesel will cause internal engine damage. if petrol is used in diesel engine it may cause explosive sound with burning ....bcz high compression ratio ......
What would happen if you put diesel instead of gasoline into a lawnmower?
The lawn mower won't run. And if you try to start it, it will distribute the diesel throughout the mower's fuel system. Then the fuel system will have to be emptied and flushed out so "regular" gasoline can be put in the tank and the mower can be started and operated as it was designed to be. This isn't an "impossible" task, but it's a little tedious. The individual who does it would be advised to work safely, and in a well-ventilated area.
