Can I put diesel in a container that used to have gas?
A container that used to contain diesel is already full of gas – called AIR! Oh – you mean gasOLINE? Yes, you can. It won’t hurt to burn that gasOLINE later in a gasOLINE car either – the tiny amount of residual diesel won’t make any difference to the engine.
What happens if you put a little bit of diesel in a gas car?
Since diesel fuel is thicker and denser than gasoline, the fuel pump will struggle to move the diesel/gasoline mixture through the system. Instead, it will clog up the fuel filter. And whatever amount of diesel that then makes its way to the engine will clog the fuel injectors, making them inoperable.
Will diesel oil hurt a gasoline engine?
Diesel oils have to put up with much higher engine temperatures, higher oxidation rates, sulfur deposits, fuel soot, acids and other deposits and conditions not usually found in automobile engines. It’s because diesel oils fail in one critical area when used in gasoline engines.
How do I know if I accidentally put diesel in my car?
The common signs of having your petrol contaminated with diesel is that the engine may start misfiring, it won’t want to start, the engine can cut out or you may have a smoky exhaust when driving.

Where does the fuel line restriction come from?
Some may come from an inline return fuel cooler (not much if they are sized right) and friction inside the fuel line with fuel flowing thru it, which brings us to what this discussion is about – Fuel Line Restriction, and how it interacts or affects overall fuel restriction on both the supply and the return fuel system on a diesel engine.
Can you substitute fuel line for 3 / 8 ″ ID?
Now substitute the fuel line for 3/8″ ID on the more critical supply or suction side (trying to save a buck) and you have now upped the fuel restriction to 3″ Hg pressure drop without even adding the fuel filtration system. Inside the ½” fuel line the fuel would be traveling at 2 ft/second and inside the 3/8″ fuel line just over 3 ft per second.
