hey y'all... does anybody know if putting diesel in the evo will damage the engine??
the gas delievery guy put diesel in the premium tank at the gas station....and i pput a full tank of diesel into my evo having thought that it was premium....
Please any info would help...................

 

Get it out of there! It is VERY bad for your engine. You are going to need a full drain and flush. Make them pay for it.....

 

get that stuff outta there

what a dumbass thing to do

i would hurt somebody if that happened

 

DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR. DO NOT START THE CAR. Have it towed to the dealer or a reliable mechanic. Make the gas station pay for everything. If you have already driven the car do not drive it further.

 

i have drove it couple of days after dealer cleaned the fuel system... but it still chokes...and
today...the car wont even start...
my question is how does it effect or damage my engine????????????????

 

Yep, it will mess your car up bad. Diesel has a much lower flash point than gasoline adn will ruin your motor in no time at all. My mom made this same mistake with her prelude, luckily it was caught in time.

If your car has not been driven you may be able to get away with just draining the tank. However if it has been ran like that for any amount of time the complete fuel system will need to be flushed up to the fuel rail.

To be on the safe side I would get all the info on the station that sold you the gas and the company that filled the tanks. That way if there is any damage to your motor or or any expense in having the system flushed they will have to pay.

 

ahhh........my poor babay.......

 

The damage is caused by uncontrolled ignition, kinda like detoniation. Diesel ignites by compression rather than spark. Not to mention there is a much higher oil content that pollutes the hell outta the valves, pistons, rings, pretty much everything involved in the combustion process. I would definitly make these guys pay.

One last thing you could try is changing out the spark plugs, Im sure they got pretty fouled up in this whole mess. If that doesnt clear things up it pretty much means the damage is done and its time for someone to pay up.

 

really sorry to hear this, if and whenever it happens again just get a socket wrench and drain the fuel tank

there are 2 bolts at the very bottommost part of the fuel tanks. crack both of them open and let them drain into a container of some sort immediately if that ever happens again.

i thought that the gas and automobile industry both purposely designed the gas hole and gas nozzles to not fit each other. for instance a diesel nozzle is supposed to have too big of a nozzle to fit into a conventional gas engined car

 

Sorry to hear that :-( Make that gas station pay for all the damages, plus lost time and inconvience if possible.

 

that migt be true, however in this case the whole premium holding tank at the gas station was filled with diesel instead of premium gas.

 

If you drove yr car for over than 15 miles after this you are ****ed my friend. you fuel system is screwd and your engine is bye bye.

 

Did the car even run? I would doubt very much that the desiel fuel would even ignite, and there is no why that you would have detonation cause by compressing desiel fuel since desiel engines require over 14:1 compression ratios to function.

The desiel will definetly foul up your whole fuel system though. Most likely you will need a new fuel filter, spark plugs, and injectors since they will be gunked up by the unrefined hydrocarbons in desiel fuel. Additionally, the entire fuel system including the fuel rail, high pressure lines, and fuel tank will need to be flushed clean.

Man you have some seriously bad luck. Stay away from sharp objects.

 

Sorry but your engine is bye bye

 

why is this happening to me......................
