WHAT HAPPENS

IF YOU PUT DIESEL IN A GAS CAR

5 Possible Effects of putting diesel in a gas car

The performance of your car will be affected badly if you put diesel in your gas car. You will find difficulty in driving the car as it will not run smoothly.

1

Car Performance is Affected

If you inject fuel into your gas car, its side effects are shown before the intake valve opens for allowing the air to enter the cylinder. The fuel and air are mixed when the piston moves upwards. It results in heating the mixture of fuel and air which makes it easier for the mixture to ignite.

2

Gasoline Combustion

If you add a large amount of diesel to the gasoline car, it will be difficult for you to start the car due to the increase in the viscosity of the fuel.

Hard To Start The Car

You will notice your car is smoking heavily after you put diesel in your gasoline car. You should know that the diesel needs high compression pressures to ignite. That’s why you will notice the clouds of black or white smoke getting exhausted from the tailpipe of your car.

Car Will Smoke Heavily

The catalytic converters present in your car can get damaged if you put diesel in the gasoline car. You should know that the gas cars are enriched with a limited amount of unburned hydrocarbons that’s why contaminated gas can result in increasing the unburned hydrocarbons.
