But What About the Opposite: Putting Diesel Fuel in a Gasoline Engine?

Fortunately, this one is almost impossible (notice we said almost), since the filler nozzles on diesel fuel dispensers are larger than those on gasoline pumps. The typical slow-fill diesel pump nozzle is 15/16" (24 cm)--fast-fill truck nozzles are even larger, well over 1-inch (25 cm), while the nozzle for a gasoline pump is about 13/16" (21 cm). Simply put, a large diesel spout won't fit in a narrow gasoline filler neck, while a smaller diameter gasoline snout will slip right in a diesel tank opening.

But if you do manage to get diesel fuel in your gasoline tank, (and this also is dilution dependent) the engine will probably not even start--and if it does, it'll run terribly and probably smoke like a chimney. Engine damage will probably be minimal to none, but a thorough (and expensive) fuel system flush will certainly be in order.& { a, K* ?# Q5 U+ u: p/ h C' m
