prepare to bend over with no lube lol. at least the motor didn't blow up.


good luck.

 

exactly

at the very least you will need a good cleaning of the fuel system. Diesel fuel tends to gum up gas engine injectors. All in all you shouldn't really have any lasting damage. As others said your cat might be damaged.

Cat
Injectors
fuel pump? I doubt it
Change your oil
flush everything out

good to go...

 

I thought the nozzle diameter of diesel IS bigger than unleaded? Ie. You can put unleaded into a diesel car, but not diesel into an unleaded car.

Check engine light???

 

Why would you grab the nossle NEXT to the 93 octane??

 

i should have the car back tomorrow. new plugs, fuel filter, dump and clean the lines.. should be fine. i will let u guys know...what a waste of money on such a stupid mistake... thanks for responding.

 

Diesel will not run in a gasoline engine. Mixing Diesel and gas won't have you running long enough to damage a catalytic convertor. Diesel Compression ratio's are almost 2x that of a gasoline engine. 20:1 is not uncommon, compared to a typical 9:1 for a gasoline engine. Diesels run by detonation, the heat generated by compression causes the fuel to burn. there is no ignition system.

The spark plugs will be fouled with unburned fuel. The injectors could be fine, but most shops replace them as a precautionary measure.

 

Did you force the diesel pump into your "hole?" It's usually bigger in diameter so this would not happen. Not sure where you are from, but that's how it is in SoCal.
