What to Do If Gasoline Is Accidentally Added to a Diesel Engine?

[AubreeFitz]

Solution for accidentally adding gasoline to a diesel engine: If the amount is small, no action is needed; if the amount is large, it should be drained and the fuel tank should be cleaned. Adding gasoline to a diesel engine can cause symptoms like poor acceleration if the amount is small, and can damage the diesel engine if the amount is large. A diesel engine is an engine that burns diesel fuel to release energy. It uses compressed air to increase the air temperature, making it exceed the auto-ignition point of diesel. Then, diesel is injected, and the diesel spray mixes with air and ignites spontaneously. Due to the high working pressure, diesel engines require related components to have high structural strength and rigidity, making them relatively heavy and large in size.
