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?

To add a solution. Once recognized that you put in the wrong fuel, stop the engine and have it towed to a mechanic that can work on your type of car. Like everyone said, damage can occur if you continue to run the vehicle.
It’s cheaper to do this vs having a seized engine and a totaled vehicle. Notify family and work about the emergency and adjust plans accordingly.
