What to Do If Diesel Car is Filled with Gasoline?
1 Answers
Solutions for diesel cars filled with gasoline: 1. If you realize the wrong fuel has been added, immediately assess the amount of gasoline added; 2. If only a small amount of gasoline has been added, you may continue driving without any immediate action; 3. If a significant amount of gasoline has been added, you should pull over immediately, call for a tow truck, and move the vehicle to the nearest 4S shop or auto repair shop; 4. Have the maintenance personnel drain all the gasoline from the fuel tank as soon as possible, clean the fuel tank, engine, and fuel lines, and replace any damaged parts. The ignition point of diesel is much higher than that of gasoline, so a diesel car can still be started after adding gasoline, as the diesel engine can easily compress and ignite the gasoline. However, over time, abnormal idling and white smoke from the exhaust pipe may occur.
