That'd be kinda hard to do, seeing as how I got it out about an hour and a half ago.

Ah.

I just saw the title and the "put diesel in a Civic" and responded instincitvely.

Now that you've fixed that issue, let's move on to the next.

Pics?

You want pics of the siphoned diesel? Or the car? Hmm...ok, but I'll have to find my digicam first.

Did you siphon it with your mouth?

Yea. I know you're not supposed to, but she was in a rush, and that was the only way to get it out quickly.

 

[SuperTool]

Where did you put the old gas?

 

[Gyrene]

Empty 5-gallon container, then gave it to the gas station attendent to dispose of properly.

on the ground likely.

Diesel can fluck everything up. Plug injectors, cause the worst engine knock you have ever heard, kill the fuel lines and filters, etc.

Diesel is rated on a cetane scale instead of octane. This means that you WANT it to go off without a spark, instead of with one. Diesel is also injected at an ungodly PSI.

I would call your dealership for a realistic explaination guys....a little diesel doesn't hurt anything. Marvel mystery oil (basically ATF which is oil with detergents) can be added to the tank....if this doesn't cause any problems neither should diesel....

All diesel is is less refined gasoline, gas = octane for 8 carbon chains and diesel = cetane for 16 (there's more to it of course)...

anyways a little diesel will not hurt your cars....even alot of diesel will not...what would happen at worse is you'd be looking at a fuel filter, new plugs but that would be extreme.

Diesel is present alot of times in even regular gas in minor amounts due to the fact that many times all these fuels travel through the same pipe during various stages of creation->loading->unloading->delivery.

Problem seems solved now but problem took way more effort and time than I like to spend to the trivial.

Taken out of context that could be one of the most quote-worthy lines I've seen on ATOT!
I have a sick mind...

What? Do you know what gasoline is?

 

[ohtwell]

I almost did that once. Luckily I realized before I started pumping gas.

Mmm, turboed diesel engine @ 22psi ...

Yes I am well aware of what gas is...and did you know you can mix diesel and gas many times on the field when you diesel powered vehicle is short on diesel?....vice versa too I think...it doesn't necessarily run well but in a critical need it's better to be moving than dead

Try it and tell us.

You may know what they are, but do you understand how they combust in an engine? Diesel does not combust in the same manner as gasoline, and will *not* combust in a gasoline engine! Gasoline engines are designed to ignite the A/F mixture through compression and an ignition source (spark plug). Diesel gets rid of the source of ignition and instead just compresses everything until it explodes.
Tell ya what alkemyst, why don't you go put some diesel in your gasoline automobile and drive it around for awhile, then tell us how much it cost to fix your car

gas in a diesel engine = death

diesel in a gas engine = ehh some problems possibly

Exactly how you do that?

And a little won't hurt nothing. Lubes up the engine a bit.

wow....just wow.....at a total loss for words....

1.3 gal isnt too bad...fill it with gas...it'll be fine.

You guys are serious idiots.

If you read above I never ever said it would work with diesel only.

Diesel need high compression to burn, however you can have some in your gas tank on a normally fueled (gasoline) vehicle and have only slight drivability problems if any.

A full tank yeah, you would go no where as diesel needs a higher compression to ignite....that's not what I said.

It was absolutely foolish to have to drain out 1.3 gallons of diesel fuel from a 10 gallon tank.

Also Flyermax you are again a retard keep up the good google fight....what is the purpose of glowplugs in a diesel engine? You need them to get started why? because the heat you are talking about is not present....the compression creates a ton of heat in the combustion chamber and thus the heat itself acts as a sparkplug, however you need to get up and running first....however, like I said you are not going to run a gas car on 100% diesel. However 1.3 gallons will not affect it. I swear you people extrude idiocity by attacking before you even read and commenting on things you have never seen nor experienced nor know anything about other that quickly hitting search engines or opening a magazine.

But you know what that's fine, I just get a huge laugh of it all and remember it the next time you spout off b/s.

If anyone thinks a 'little bit' of diesel fuel will fvck up a car they are idiots, end of story. If anyone thinks you can run a full tank of diesel fuel, they are idiots.....however if anyone thinks that will cause you to blow up and what not, again 'LOSER'...you will have fouled plugs, you will not even start more than likely, and you may have a chance to pollute the O2 sensors and cat at the very worst.

Diesel fuel and gasoline (car type to save the geeks from talking otherwise) will combine very well and the added gas will act as a solvent to remove the diesel traces.


ANY auto repair shop can confirm this.

I think it's ok if a lil bit of diesel gets into a gas car, however, gas into diesel is bad because gas is more volatile than diesel. I could be wrong though.

Actually if I remember right I think my old VW diesel manual told you to mix unleaded with diesel if you couldn't find any winterized diesel fuel so it must work ok on some of it. I even used a little bit of ATF in the fuel to clean out the fuel system time to time. It always worked better after doing that.

 

[bdyche]

I made the same mistake once, lol... had an '92 Dodge Ram 2500 with a Cummins Turbo Diesel... sold it, and bought a '76 Jeep...


I put diesel in the jeep the first time I filled it...

Ok, but they're fairly old. I haven't been able to have access to a digicam for about 2 years, so...


This is a picture of her and my dog, Dali.

This is a picture of her right before prom 2 years ago.

And this is a picture of both of us right before we left for prom.

See, she's not what I would call a dumb blonde, the hair isn't light enough for that. Therefore, I'll classify this as a one time mistake.

You don't look very Japanese.
