today she wouldnt start, i thought she might be out of gas which is very liky due to is been running on the five bucks for atleast a month, not driving it but just starting it from time to time. well i asked this guy to run and get me some gas out of the rack at school, he goes gets it.................Then i proceed to pour it in the carb noticeing that its kinda wierd looking, i thought i might be old anyways i start the car up and THE BIGGGEST CLOUD OF SMOKE YOU HAVE EVER SEEN came out of her, i SAY ****! and look at everything, the guy hands me the can and it says DIESEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ******* IDIOT he laughs can continues with his fucked life as usual.
What do you guys think happend to her ??? is it allright or how should i fix it ?? thanks hopefully shes still good.

 

that sucks man. i wish i could tell you what kind of damage that will do but i dont really know. i do know that you need to somehow flush out all the diesel though.

 

your car isnt dead, just needs to be flushed, did u try to put gasoline down the carb and fire it up? along with some carb cleaner? that diesel might of made some nasty deposits... but i dont see it blownin the motor... btw i would of slaped that kid if he laughed.

 

I agree, just flush her out. It'll live.

 

That sucks man, I hope you didn't just let that guy walk away.

 

I didnt have any gas to do it with so hopefully i can try it tomarrow. thanks guys c-ya!

 

Flush it out with gas and change the plugs, you should be fine..

 

yeah, diesel in a gasoline engine isn't a bad thing, but gasoline in a diesel engine spells trouble.

You just can't get diesel to burn fast enough in a gasoline engine to run, so it just causes smoke.

 

That indeed is funny, wish I would have been there to laugh my *** off then comfort you to tell you its ok. Diesel fuel is oil not gas like your used to. When I went overseas I stored my car for 4 years, the guys at Mazdatrix told me to preserve it with deisel, I poored it right down the carb until full, then again and again, put about 5 gallons in her. I let her sit for 4 years, picked her up, changed plugs oil etc, fired right up. Its just oil, its ok! Wow, the look on your face would have been priceless! And its not that you cant get diesel burning fast enough, its gas engines dont have a high enough compression to ignite the oil- typically 23.1. Oh that would have been priceless...

 

yea it probably was, the smoke cloud like i said WAS ******* HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

 

Diesel burns hotter than gasoline, so it probably wasnt the best thing for the apex seals. Other than that if you didnt put a lot in, it should be fine after a good flush.

 

ive accidently put a extra bottle of oil in my rex, and it smoke litterally a road of 10 houses , whole road of fogged, they SMOKE ALOT! dont be scared, clean , flush, and stfu your okay! ;P

 

and agin if ur car wouldnt start befor u put the diesel in, i bet it was flooded too, so... u should know the procedure to unflood ur 12a

 

you should take some gas and soak that guys car down and let er burn!!

 

Nah man, just siphon some gas from that guys tank and use it to flush the diesel out, that'll teach him. And while your at it, you can siphon the rest out, to fill your tank with

 

A gas engine cant get the diesel to even burn at 50% efficiency! Not an issue, take her around the block and run the **** out of her, you may want to clean your plugs but you only ran a little through it, dont sweat it.

 

Then just top it off with Diesel again .

Take your plugs out and wipe them off

Turn the main pulley six or more full turns counter-clockwise (that's moving the top of the pulley towards the passenger side)

Reinstall your plugs, add some *real* gas down the carb and make sure there's sufficient gasoline in the tank, and give it a start!

That should purge what's left in the engine, but I'm thinking there's probably a little left in there, so you'll still get some smoke. Should be alright tho.

I agree about filling his tank with diesel... Or sugar.. sugar works well.

what does sugar do???

how bad is it??

 

On a boinger the sugar dissolves in to the gas making a rather sweet mixture of petrol. When the mix travels to the cylinder passing the valves it gets in and coats the surrounding areas, its all good until you shut the car off and let it cool. The sugar (which has been heated) cools down and makes a sort of candy like coating on all items it has come in contact with ie, valves, rings, cylinder wall, pistons etc, not nice. Same with a rotary with the exception of the valves, it would coat all the apexes, side rings, you get the point. Basically you render the now candy coated engine inoperable. Not a nice thing to do to anyone.

 

Last time I checked though, it takes a massive amount of sugar to do it, and no, despite what I said I don't condone that kind of action on anybody, no matter how much of an *** they are.
