Adding 71 liters of gasoline to a diesel engine

Benyamin Davodian
Hello everyone,

This message is for automotive or mechanical engineers only.

pay attention!!!

A customer claims that he accidentally put gasoline in place of a diesel in the Toyota LANCROZER 2008 model

The customer claims a vehicle traveled 14 km until he heard engine noises.

Questions:
  1. Is it possible that a vehicle can travel 14 km?

  • Will the engine work briefly and after a few meters stop?

  • Will the engine not work?

  • I would love to get feedback.


Thanks

    Yes at that vintage it probably still had a mechanical injection pump. Most newer vehicles have had to move to common rail systems to meet the emmisions requirements. Mechanical injection systems will run on most things and 14km will only require a couple of litres of something reasonable. I guess they probably have large fuel filters to deal with dubious fuel quality which will give a reservoir of good diesel..

    As the petrol proportion increased it would almost certainly knock badly but after a clean out and fresh diesel I expect it will still run.

    If it's a newer variant with common rail injection there is a greater risk of injection system damage due to the recirculation of the fuel.


    Best regards
