What happens if you put gasoline in a deisel truck?

[TuffD]

Don't panic. It's not that bad. Don't drive the truck. Drain the tank and if you can get to the fuel filter then drain that also. Get a diesel fuel treatment and put in tank with fresh diesel. You may have to crank it a bit to get it started but once it starts let it run without driving it until you hear the engine smooth out. I've seen it happen a lot and it's much worse if you put diesel into a gas vehicle. This whole process should tak you less than an hour and the truck should be ok.

I had a friend who did that once, she didn't start the car so I don't know what would have happened. But, she had to get the fuel tank changed before she could drive it again.

My sister-in-law just called and said she put gas in my brother's deisel pick-up truck. I know this HAS TO BE bad! But how bad? What's going to happen? Thanks anyone!

Tell her not to run the engine. it can explode and destroy the motor. They need to have the tank drained and then refill it with diesel fuel.

doesn't run diesel combust from pressure gas combusts from sparks so truck wont run and you will have to flush the fuel system my buddy got fired for doing that once lol

OH no. If you put Diesel in a gas motor it wont run, but if you put gas in a deisel motor it will run. Briefly. After that its ruined.
I hope it turns out okay.
