Solution for accidentally adding a small amount of diesel to a gasoline car: Remember not to start the engine to prevent diesel from entering the fuel system. Tow the car to a 4S shop or repair shop for professional handling. Below are the consequences of mixing diesel and gasoline: 1. Engine knocking: Diesel engines do not have spark plugs. If diesel enters a gasoline engine, it will start burning violently before the spark plug ignites, causing abnormal pressure in the combustion chamber, known as knocking. 2. Incomplete combustion: When diesel is added to a gasoline engine, it cannot be fully atomized, leading to incomplete combustion. This results in a noticeable lack of engine power, unresponsiveness to throttle input, severe carbon buildup, and clogged fuel injectors.
