That's What Happens When You Put the Wrong Fuel in a Car

Picture this: you’re driving on a highway, and suddenly see something you’ve failed to notice earlier: your gas tank is almost empty! You drive to the closest gas station, only to find they have no other gas but 87. Should you pump it inside your car or not? What’s the difference between those numbers?
In fact, gasoline can actually be different, and it’s not one type fits all. In the US, the most typical numbers you’ll see are 87, 89, and 92. In other parts of the world, the numbers can vary, but most common ones are 91, 95, and 98. The higher the number value, the higher the cost of the fuel, so it might seem natural to choose the cheapest one and go with it, but it’s not as simple as it sounds.

SUMMARY:
- It’s a surprising thing to say, but if you have an older car, you’re lucky. That’s because you generally don’t have to care about which type of gas to pump inside your vehicle.
- The 87 is a basic type of gas that fits most older cars. 89 is a midgrade octane rating that’s suitable for newer vehicles; and 92 is the premium gasoline that’s mostly required to drive elite and sports cars, but sometimes even new middle-segment automobiles can demand the 92 and nothing below that.
- Manufacturers may require a higher octane fuel because their engines receive more air thanks to supercharging or turbocharging.
- More air in the engine means faster ignition, and that can lead to early detonating of the mix. With high-octane fuel, this is usually out of the question, which can’t be said about the low-octane type.
- The damage caused by wrong fuel is not immediate, though. You’ll probably be able to drive for weeks before encountering any trouble.
- In the long run, the cost of repairing the engine will outweigh the fuel economy by far. In addition, the higher the octane rating, the “cleaner” the gas, so it will both help keep your car in a good condition and reduce your emissions.
- Some time ago, however, a new type of gas appeared on the market, and it has a separate label: E10 or E15. The letter E stands for ethanol, while the number indicates its percentage in the fuel - 10 or 15%, respectively.
- Ethanol is basically one of the most efficient additives in gasoline. It has a high octane rating by itself (about 109), it’s much safer for the environment, it’s renewable, and it reduces dependence on oil.
- What could happen if you accidentally pump diesel into your gas-powered car? At first, you’ll drive as if nothing’s wrong. That’s because the engine will use up the remains of gasoline in the tank. But as soon as those last few drops are expended, your car will just stop.
- If the opposite happens, however, and you fill your diesel tank with gasoline, things get much worse.

[@Kana0211]

Depending on the diesel engine it can run on gas but only for short distances

[@hatergeneral4298]

i used in my diesel engine only half a liter and it worked just fine

[@himeskids]

Depending on the diesel engine (age) you could probably use a mixture of crude oil and vegetable oil to run it instead of gasoline. The original diesel engine, developed by Rudolph Diesel, ran on vegetable and peanut oils. Since diesels use higher compression to ignite their fuel, compared to gasoline engines which use an artificially created spark to ignite the fuel, this gave them a larger range of fuel types. Now let me say I don't recommend just pouring vegetable oil in your diesel truck, newer diesels would need a lot of modification to run properly like this, but if you have an older model diesel truck, then just mix it with some old motor oil and you should be fine.

[@Cro_man_]

@@himeskids actualy it wudl be missfiring if you put gasoline in diesel engine it wudl pre ignite

@@Cro_man_ I didn't say gasoline. I said use some old motor oil and mix with peanut oil. Its called bio-diesel. The original diesel motor was created to run off peanut oil, and in concept current ones could. Older diesels do it easier, but new ones require heavy modifications to do so.

Nope, for a standard compression engine (most engines in normal cars), higher octane fuel will have zero effect on fuel economy or emissions

[@tajrice5398]

Exactly...

[@neubauerjoseph]

It’s because the ecu has a thing in that is programmed to accept the fuel ⛽️ of the manual. So if it says 89 then putting 91 wouldn’t do any thing . Even EV are similar. A guy who has a Tesla did a test, got 440v and thought based on math that it would charge his car in like 5 minutes or so, but the cars transformer can’t handle it so it restricts the v so it’s was almost a waste. I think he said he would normal take a charge of 30-50 percent like 3 hours but it cut off like 3-5 minutes. So he was like why? So he thought that if he gets an converter so he can put his tesla it would work. Nope 👎. He also could have damaged his car. I know a guy who killed his go cart by plugging in a huge 440v fried the batteries 🔋 and motor.

[@abbiking3910]

I guess things are different outside of the US when it comes to fuel

[@davidwalker7732]

I think the UK uses the RON at the pump so you see higher numbers for the same gas. In the US they take the average between RON and motor octane so our octane sticker at the pump has a lower number. I believe in general that makes the US pump octane 3 points lower than the RON.

[@arohk1579]

Most modern cars will run fin on 87 to 89 fuel, the car's computer and sensor's are designed to compensate for fuel quality. The other thing depending on what vehicle as well as how you drive, vehicles that state premium fuel recommended 91+, will also safely run on regular. However if you run diesel in a gas engine you will require a fuel system flush, however gas in a diesel most likely damage motor. Best thing if you accidentally mix up diesel or gas, do not run the vehicle have it towed. The tank can be drained and cleaned with no damage to the engine or fuel system. I've had to empty a few car's and large truck's due to this mistake. I have been a licensed mechanic for over 20 year's, most of our customer's run regular fuel with no real issues, aside from saving money.

I have been driving cars since 1965. Fuel ratings has changed in this time frame. My Chevelle in the 60’s did need ethyl or 92., but none of my cars since. I even have an 80’s Mustang V8 and it uses regular or 87. None of my newer cars use anything but 87. So your statement that newer cars need higher octane is unfounded. Thanks….Jim PS……I always follow manufacturers recommendations for cars, except oil change intervals, I usually changed in have the time recommended, I.e. every 10k miles, I change in 5k miles, also at least twice every year.

If you must add lower octane gas to your car just add enough to get to the next fuel stop that has your preferred octane fuel. A diesel fuel nozzle won't fit into a standard gas tank inlet. Most cars go a long way (50-100 miles) after their fuel gauge reads empty.

We’ve always ran 110 Octane “airplane fuel from our local AirPort” in our old sled pulling trucks. We have to use additives to keep the valves from drying out but the way the 110 fuel smells in those old engines smells awesome for some reason

Check that av gas you are buying, most of it is already leaded fuel

[@warrenmcelroy4718]

@@raymondpoteet8920 thanks for the advice, I did not know that. We’ve been buying from the same local airport for the past 25 years and the guy that worked at the airport when I was a teenager also worked at the Napa parts store that I used and he is the one who told me I should be running leaded additives with that gasoline, especially since we were running older Ford FE Engines at the time. I was under the impression that ALL gasoline was now unleaded, so thanks for the comment

[@hawaiianpunch6534]

I remember this girl pumped diesel in her Mercedes that took unleaded. That's what I came here for.

[@liveandletlive2894]

Here in the US a diesel fuel pump nozzle wont fit into a cars tank to avoid that issue

[@myskrillaa]

[@Glider5858]

[@rjmj7725]

Maybe she drove a merc truck ?? ... all girls know about shoving wrong tubes down their pipes...😆😅😆

[@aidenmcdonald1285]

All countries have that but you can still force it in...

[@JiggaJ1979]

Usually try to bring it to the dealer with a no start and try to claim in under warranty.

[@lanma5429]

i have 2 questions 1. What happens if you fuel the diesel with ethanol? 2. What if you fuel the ethanol with diesel?
