what happens when you put gasoline in a diesel car and vice versa

1.98K viewsEngineeringOther

My sister put gasoline in her diesel car and now she might have to get a new car. I don’t even have a driver’s license and have a rudimentary understanding of how simple combustion engines work. Why is the car maybe dead, can it be fixed?

Usually it causes issues on the fuel pumps on a diesel.

Diesel lubricates, gasoline doesn’t.

Saying that it’s unlikely to kill an engine as it probably won’t even start on gasoline.
