Q
will diesel ruin gas engine
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Yes, using diesel fuel in a gasoline engine can indeed ruin it. Gas engines are designed to ignite fuel through spark ignition, while diesel engines use compression ignition. Diesel is heavier and oilier. If it ends up in a gas engine, it won't burn properly, leading to incomplete combustion. This can cause the engine to smoke excessively and can significantly reduce engine performance. Over time, it might lead to engine misfiring, reduced fuel efficiency, and potentially severe internal damage that could necessitate costly repairs. If diesel is accidentally put into a gasoline engine, it's advisable to drain the tank and the fuel system before starting the engine to avoid damage.
