I guess I'm surprised if the engine actually caught. Gasoline shouldn't ignite in a diesel engine.

I suspect he'll be okay if he just empties the tank and fills it up with diesel. The only potential problems I might anticipate would be in the fuel system. However, he should probably talk to someone who knows his specific car.

Now, diesel fuel in a gasoline car ... that would be much worse.

"Gasoline and diesel, not relate to s2000".

UTH is for S2000 topics. Moving this to Car Talk.
