Accidentally Put Gas in Diesel Engine
Gas in a diesel engine is a serious mistake with potentially disastrous consequences. Knocking sounds, loss of power, and rough idling are immediate effects, while long-term damage includes engine failure and increased emissions. Prevention is crucial: pay attention to fuel labels, use the correct fuel container, and be aware of your vehicle’s fuel type. Remedies involve draining the fuel tank, flushing the fuel lines, replacing the fuel filter, and potentially replacing damaged components. Repair costs can range from minor cleaning to major engine repairs. Safety precautions are essential, including avoiding smoking, ensuring proper ventilation, and wearing protective gear.
