Can a Gasoline Car Use Diesel Fuel?
1 Answers
Gasoline cars cannot use diesel fuel. The reasons are as follows: 1. Diesel has a lower ignition point. It ignites by compressing air to raise the temperature to the diesel's ignition point and then injecting diesel, so diesel engines do not have spark plugs. If diesel enters a gasoline engine, it will start burning before the spark plug ignites, causing abnormal pressure in the combustion chamber, commonly known as knocking. 2. Due to the different combustion methods of gasoline and diesel, filling a gasoline vehicle with diesel can severely affect the engine, leading to symptoms such as engine shaking, black smoke from the exhaust, or even the inability to start the engine. 3. Generally, misfueling is caused by the negligence of the gas station, and the gas station should bear the related cost losses. However, if the vehicle owner misfuels due to their own negligence, resulting in vehicle malfunction, neither the gas station, warranty, nor insurance will cover the repair or compensation as clearly stipulated.
