What happens if you put the wrong fuel in your tank?
Texasel, the joint mixture is not offensive as people think.
He told the United States in an exclusive interview, there are things that drivers should search for in pumps to avoid wrong fuel in your closet, and what to do if that happens.
The first thing he pointed out is that most gas stations make it very difficult to fill a diesel gas car. In pumps, the size is important.
“The diesel pump nozzle is usually much larger than the gasoline pump,” he said.
“Therefore, it is very difficult to put diesel in a gas tank, it is actually easier to put gasoline by mistake in the diesel engine.”
If the wrong fuel type is used, drivers will know immediately, as the engine will be operated incredibly before the closure. When this happens, it is important not to try to start the car again, because it pushes the fuel to the system. It can cost forcing wrong fuel through an unaccounted engine to cost thousands of repairs, or even worth replacing the engine.
