Diesel car filling with gasoline by mistake will have the following consequences: Abnormal vehicle operation: Since gasoline has a lower carbon content than diesel, after driving for a period of time, the vehicle will experience symptoms such as lack of power, unstable idling, engine shaking, white smoke from the exhaust pipe, and other abnormal phenomena, eventually leading to the vehicle stalling. Engine damage: The working conditions of a gasoline engine are different from those of a diesel engine. The ignition point of gasoline is much lower than that of diesel. Putting gasoline into a diesel engine will cause premature combustion of the fuel, leading to abnormal operation of the diesel engine, damaging the entire engine's components, and causing significant losses.

How to Remove the Foul Odor Inside a Car?

To quickly eliminate the odor inside the car, the first step is to identify the source of the smell. The odor could be caused by rotting food that wasn't disposed of in time, or it might be formaldehyde emitted from a newly purchased car. Formaldehyde has a pungent smell, and prolonged exposure can harm human health. If the odor is indeed from formaldehyde, measures should be taken to stabilize it within safe levels. The following methods may help alleviate your concerns. Opening windows for ventilation is the best way to remove free-state formaldehyde. When the windows are opened, a continuous flow of fresh air dilutes the formaldehyde-laden air inside the car, achieving the goal of purifying formaldehyde. However, this method is easily affected by weather conditions, so extra attention is needed.
