The main thing that happens when there is water in diesel fuel is that it will burn poorly or maybe not even at all. It will also sink to the bottom of the fuel tank.

JordanDepends on the amount, and the type of hydraulic fluid already in there. If the diesel blends with hydraulic and is a small amount to the whole volume, then it's no problem. If the diesel doesn't blend, if it curdles or something them you need to drain the lot. If it's a lot of diesel to a small amount of hydraulic pumps and motors might seize, as diesel is a rather poor lubricant. Diesel is also likely to be runnier than the hydraulic fluid, which is likely to reduce the performance of the system.

What happens if you put 2 liters of petrol in diesel engine with 20 liters diesel?
I would recommend not running the engine until the fuel is drained. Any amount of petrol/gasoline in a diesel can cause engine or fuel system damage.
How do you put fluid in hydraulic Jack?
Open the drain screw that holds the body of the hydraulic jack. This way you can addhydraulic oil to the hydraulic jack.
What phenomenon occurs if petrol is used in diesel engine?
What do you mean phenonmenon? Nothing of a phenomenon occurs. Your engine will simply fail and you will need to get the whole tank cleaned out and system it will cost a fortune. This is why people put diesel stickers on the inside of their petrol cap to remind them. And prob saving them money in the long run!
Can you put water in a hydraulic jack?
you can but you'll be buying a new one very shortly afterwards. Use hydraulic fluid. Brake fluid works well also
What will happen if you use diesel in petrol engine?
Your car will very soon stop running. Then you will have to go to a mechanic/garage to empty the gas tank and put the right fuel in it. The same thing will happen if you put petrol in diesel engine. My co-workers did BOTH of these things on our company cars at different times by accident. Both cars worked after they emptied tanks and put the right fuel in them.the engine wont work coz the property of diesel fuel is that,it ignites only at a high compression ratio (around 17-19:1),whereas a petrol engine has a compression ratio of 9:1(+/- 2).so less compression results in less pressure and lesser temperature.
