Putting Petrol Into A Diesel Car

It's #ThrowbackThursday! Jon Bentley demonstrates what happens if you fill up a car with the wrong fuel, and if you can save it after the damage has been made!

[@chingac]

Another day I asked a taxi driver about the mileage of his car. He was driving a 2003 MB E-class. 2.7 litre Diesel. He said the car has gone through 1,600,000 kilometres. He had to repair the engine at around 1,000,000 due to the breakage of engine chain. I am driving a 1.4 litre VW petrol engine and it is already showing signs of inner damage at only 200,000 km -_-

[@Awayze]

+Chinga Changa VW are cheap shite though

[@SwPiotrek]

+Chinga Changa Which 1.4 you have? VAG group has plenty of different 1.4 petrol engines.

[@omfgwtfbbq90]

that is because taxi cars are almost never turned off, which keeps the oils and engine warm and everything nicely lubricated. Short commuting is what ruins an engine, engines live longer when driven on longer trips and taken care of on regular basis

[@CarsandtheirParts]

Well it all depends on servicing, how it's been looked after and run etc

[@chingac]

The engine I was talking about is the 1.4L petrol 59kW engine. Basically the old 1.4L 55kW with added 4kW power. The engine is from 2008 and the car has been serviced regularly. As of now, in ideal the engine should be removed and repaired. The piston rings are looking to be replaced and also the hydraulic tappets, as at least 1 of 16 is showing signs of failure. The oil that has gotten past the piston rings has nearly killed off 2 catalytic converters in the exhaust system and I barely passed the emissions test with this car. I use a car with this engine, because it keeps my insurance costs low.

why not just make the shape of a nozzle different ? for example: petrol shape like a square diesel shape like a triangle and also make the shape of little circular thing at the back of the car (dont know the name) shaped for that specific fuel.

[@SgtLion]

The thing about fuel nozzles is they are *very* specialised for what they do. Things like corners or errant shapes can create an enormous potential for static electricity, which in turn means boom boom with fuel stations. So yes, I'm sure it's doable, but the cost involved in making and deploying reliably safe designs are far beyond anything a fuel company cares to make. After all, wrong fuel in your engine doesn't lose them any profit.

I put 10 gallons of gasoline into my international truck. Once I realized the mistake, I then put in 20 gallons of diesel with an estimated 10 gallons of diesel in the tank. Overall there was 25% gasoline in the diesel. It ran completely fine & had a little more horsepower.

[@nickfoster8674]

My wife filled her petrol Escort with diesel, many years ago. It conked out within a few miles. I drained the tank, and refilled with petrol. It wouldn't start on the starter, just kept draining the battery. I then towed it behind my car in second gear until it fired up. It was a bit (actually, quite a lot!) smoky for a few miles but was fine eventually. I doubt you could do the same with a modern car.

A small amount of the wrong fuel causes few problems if you top the tank up with the correct one. I've made the mistake both ways in the past and simply switching to the correct pump and filling the vehicle was sufficient to eliminate any potential problem. In fact a mechanic I know who had around forty years experience told me that when he was younger, it was quite common to add petrol to diesel tanks to improve cold starting in the winter.

This is actually a variation of what is known as the doomsday argument - if you have something of unknown lifespan, the longer it has lived so far, the longer its expected lifespan starting from now is. So for instance if you have an a radioactive atom, and you don't know its half-life, but it has already existed for a thousand years, that eliminates the possibility that its half-life is 10 years or less, and you would expect it to last hundreds of years longer at least. But if you have an atom that was synthesized 2 seconds ago, there's a good chance its half-life is a year, or a month, or a day, or 30 seconds, and it's far more likely to decay in the near future. The expected lifespan in such a case is always comparable to the time it has existed so far.

I started pouring petrol into Volvo V 50 2.0 diesel. Luckily, I realised it immediatelly and i stopped after 2 seconds, but still I put about 1liter of petrol into the diesel. Luckily my Volvo wasn't empty (it had around 10 liters of diesel) so I filled my tank with diesel to the top. Nothing happened and I hope 60 liters of diesel will destroy 1 liter of petrol. I don't think there will be damage for the fuel pump and other things. But that's only 1 liter. If I had poured 5 liters, I would have called towing truck and went for the mechanic without starting the engine.

It would be interesting to see what happens within the tank. Like half of each do they mix or separate. This will affect whether you can drain the system and get most of it out.

[@astrawally8448]

They will mix very well - petrol will act as the solvent to the diesel oil. No different to putting a heavier 2 stroke oil into petrol for your 2 stroke bike/outboard/etc. They are both by products of crude oil and similarly other by products like kerosene will also mix very well, so adding more of the right fuel will reduce the ratio of wrong fuel in. Diesel engines can run on a wide range of fuels because the fuel is injected into a hot chamber and under lots of pressure (compression) which also heats the mixture further aiding ignition. Fun fact, when Rudolf Diesel was inventing the diesel engine, he tried both petrol and kerosene, in addition to lots of other petroleum by-products because crude oil was too thick, so his early engines ran on petrol. More fun fact, jet engines can run on diesel (rather than kerosene) but don't because diesel isn't as well suited to temperature extremes as kerosene.
