Yes, Firestone does offer free check engine light diagnostics at some locations. However, it's recommended to call your local Firestone beforehand to confirm and schedule an appointment. Also, while the initial check may be free, any necessary repairs based on the diagnostic report will be charged.
Yes, putting diesel in a gasoline engine will indeed cause harm. Diesel fuel is much denser and oilier than gasoline. When diesel is mistakenly introduced into a gas engine, it fails to ignite properly due to the engine's design for the more volatile gasoline. This results in a lack of combustion, meaning the engine either won't start or runs very poorly if it starts at all. The immediate effects include potential damage to the fuel injectors, fuel pump, and other components of the fuel system due to diesel's different lubrication properties and higher flash point. In severe cases, it could lead to costly repairs or necessitate parts replacement. If this mistake happens, it's crucial to drain the diesel from the tank and flush the fuel system before attempting to start the engine to minimize damage.
Replacing an engine can generally take between 10 to 20 hours of labor for most cars. The actual time depends on several factors, including the type of vehicle, the complexity of the engine compartment, and whether the replacement is a new or refurbished engine. Professional mechanics with experience and the right tools can complete the job more efficiently, but unexpected issues like additional repairs or part compatibility could extend the time needed. It's also vital to ensure a proper break-in period for the new engine, following manufacturer guidelines to ensure longevity and performance. For a precise estimate, consulting with a trusted mechanic who can assess the specific requirements and potential challenges of your vehicle is recommended.
