Accidentally put petrol in diesel car

What if poured gasoline in diesel engine.

   To mix the fuel when refueling the machine and pour petrol instead of diesel is quite easy. Petrol confused, changed the car and used to a different fuel - the reasons why there was such a situation, quite a lot. Immediately the question arises: what to do. Naturally, to go to the service.
 
   Cars confused with fuel at service stations is not uncommon - it will confirm the staff of such services. Hosts cars, which poured petrol instead of diesel, of course, nervous and already counting losses in mind.




What happens if you pour some fuel is not

   To understand how strong the damage was done to the vehicle, it is necessary to consider the principle of operation of the motor car. It is understood that the petrol and diesel engines are very different from each other. The main difference is that heating of diesel fuel and ignition of the mixture takes place due to the compression inside the cylinder.

   If the tank is nearly empty, the gasoline engine can be started even when filling a diesel engine. This will happen due to the fact that in the fuel line and filter still some normal fuel. Then the car will pass a certain number of meters or even kilometers, after which the machine will rise, and run it will not succeed. And if it turns out that it is not necessary to spoil the engine on, it is better to call a tow truck just to get to the service.

   This development experts call favorable and argue that in this case, the repair does not require large financial investments: will be enough rinse pipe and tank and change the filter.

   If the tank was still a certain amount of diesel, and then was poured gasoline, there is a mixture of two fuels. Motor is likely to start (again due to the residues in the diesel line), but the long drive back will not work. When the engine starts to flow the fuel mix, probably two versions of events. In the first cars just get up. In the second - will continue to operate, however, the engine power will decline, but the coolant temperature, on the contrary, increase. In addition, it will have a strong roar. It is understood that this is very dangerous for the engine, so you need to stop, unscrew the fuel cap and smell, no smell of gasoline out there.

   Often the drivers departed from refueling and checking how the fuel was filled, the noise caused blamed the fact that he poured "Singe" and continues to fuel go further. So, you should not do.

   The main cause of problems in the operation of the engine is that ignition will occur later than required for diesel engines. This results in a pressure wave which randomly move across the combustion chamber and strike the piston cover and the cylinder wall. It is these actions and cause noise, which the driver hears.


What to do

   Naturally, it is necessary to wash the entire fuel system. This must be done in the event that damage to the lungs, and that if the situation is serious. Flush fuel system need to remove all the fuel particles, which can damage the engine while driving.
   If the situation is serious, ie, engine broken quite strongly, it is better to conduct a comprehensive diagnosis and replace everything that must be replaced.
   To avoid such problems in the future, in the area of ​​the fuel tank, do yourself a sticker with a reminder: for themselves, tankers, that the tank is necessary to pour diesel only. And then you will be able to avoid problems and expensive repairs.
