What happens if I put a little diesel in my car mixed with regular gas?

Question:

Answers:

Try to dilute the mixture as much as possible. Keep filling the tank with high octance REGULAR gas every 75-100 miles for the next 400 miles. Like the guy said above, I hope you don't foul the plugs. If that is the case, you will need to replace them. I don't know if the fuel injection will complain too.

Where do you take your car to get a inside handle replaced?

What on earth for? There was a day when a little diesel oil worked as an additive to lubricate valve stems. With the advent of low sulpher diesel and silicone treated valve guides that is not the case. The only result you could get now would be to make your fuel less combustible which would result in higher carbon and create sooty contaminants. Waste of time.

Not sure what made you think this was a good idea, but i'd stay away from it. Diesel fuel burns at a higher temperature than Gas does, so if you put it into your car you will notice a lack in performance because as it travels thru your fuel lines, it's not going to actually burn as much as foul up the engine. If you are try'ing to save money on gas, then make sure you are keeping up with your cars maintanence, like your oil, tire pressure and things of that nature.
