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

2.17K 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?

It’s not as serious as you think, you won’t need to buy another car. If you pour gas and the engine still doesn’t start, you can remove all the gasoline with a pump, and the problem will be solved. If you happen to start the vehicle and drive a few kilometers, it will be a bit more challenging to clean the entire system, but even so, it will remain in very good condition to continue driving without issues
