Gas in a diesel engine

**drifterx** · April 25th, 2008 01:10 AM

possible scenarios pag accidentaly nakargahan ng gasolina ang diesel engine mo.

actually this just happened to me now just wanna know worst case scenario para di na ako mashock pag punta ko sa mekaniko bukas hehehe. di ko natignan 2 beses ko pa inulit sa attendant na diesel. after siguro 5-10 kms lumakas yung idling ang usok sobra puti ang kulay. tapos namatay na lang at ayaw na magstart. help naman mga sirs what am i supposed to look forward tomorrow. thanks

depende kung magcrank pa sya,maaaring hindi pa masyado nadamage yung engine,pwede mo pa maifuel system flush as in completely flush,pati fuel pump,fuel lines kailangan talaga walang maiwan na kahit kunti sa system.pero kung di na magstart get ready na lang na baka kailangan mo na ng bagong makina or baka yung mga major parts ng makina, kaya depende.di bale sana kung nalagyan mo ng diesel fuel ang gas fuel engine dahil hindi masisira ang makina nito,pero sa kalagayan ng kotse ay malaking problema kasi isipin mo kung gaano kataas ang pressure ng cylinder kung nagcompress na ito,kaya huwag mo na muna istart ng start ang makina.gaya ng sinabi ko kung di na sya magstart ay dalhin mo na kaagad sa mekaniko.

Wow! Kiss and say goodbye to your ride. That happened also to my friends son brand new (2007)SUV honda Pilot, only the SUV is gas and he pump a diesel. The damage........ total engine.

I presume this was in the US? How did they do that the pumps are color coded to prevent this kins of thing?

Naku, pwede mong i-reklamo yung gas- boy ng Shell, tapos sa Shell mo isisi para sila ang magpaayos. Dati ganyan nangyari sa friend ko, sa Shell din, pero hindi na nila pinatakbo ang sasakyan. Dun na mismo inayos sa Shell kasi napansin na Gas ang isinalin at alam ng friend ko na masama talaga yung ginawa. Shell ang nagpaayos. Sisante yung gas boy. Naabala yung friend ko. Pero ok na uli after ng system flushing. Tinanggal pati yung fuel tank para itaktak yung lahat ng fuel.

I hope I am wrong but it could mean bye bye diesel engine....

AFAIK, diesel engines work by burning fuel through high temperature and pressure, vs. gasoline engine by spark. Gasoline will definitely explode prematurely in a diesel engine which could destroy its walls and fuel injection....

Diesel gurus?

Depends on the amount added and the engine. There are two immediate impacts of diesel fuel mixed with gasoline: the octane is lowered and the fuel vaporization is reduced. The lowered octane may cause the engine to knock. YUng ibang engines have knock sensors and the electronic controls will adjust the timing and other engine conditions to try to control the knock. If the knock remains significant it can damage the engine by causing metal fatigue eventually leading to failure of critical parts like pistons, connecting rods, heads.

In your case, nakatakbo na ng 5-10 kms... at kamo namatay na ng tuluyan. Balitaan mo kami.

Dapat kasi magkaroon ng rin dito ng different size of diesel nozzle compared sa gas nozzle para may distinction. kaso dito pa!

Or at least dapat hindi pinagtatabi ang mga pumps ng diesel at gasoline..
Dapat may designated area para sa diesel, meron din para sa gas..
At least it would lessen human errors..

2cents! OT pala ako..

For me try to flush out muna fuel system saka try to start uli. Sabi nga ni ni sir CVT diesel can burn by high pressure not like gasoline which is can burn by spark. Baka naparami ang gasoline kaya ayaw magstart ng auto mo kasi nga hindi nya maburn ang gasoline by high compresion only.

Correct. Its not only green color on the handle of the nozzle they are bit bigger than gas nozzle. How did he do it? I dont know but my friend was so mad since the vehicle is only a week old.
