yea, it happen with a company truck, they call a retired driver on a busy week and back in his time the 5 ton was gas, but the new one was diesel... the smoke was green/blue out of the exaust
However, due to the higher density, diesel offers a higher volumetric energy density at 35.86 MJ/L (128,700 BTU/US gal) vs. 32.18 MJ/L (115,500 BTU/US gal) for gasoline, some 11% higher, which should be considered when comparing the fuel efficiency by volume. -----So if you put 25% diesel, you increase mileage by only 2.85%, not woth the trouble.
Just fill up the rest with hi-octane gasoline. It'll help combust the rest. As long as you have closer to a 50/50 ratio of diesel/gasoline, you should be able to drive it, but it's certainly not good for your engine to run a different gas type than designed.

2.75%...you increase milage by 2.75% when you put in 25% diesel. An increase of milage by 2.85% would require 25.9% diesel (rounded to the first decimal place).
And besides, thats in theory. But a gasoline engine is not designed for diesel so fuel economy would almost certainly be worse. The engine wouldn't run efficiently.
@@ifarted2656 even after the engine is warmed up? don't think so .. maybe you are talking about 100% diesel, not 20% which is 4 liters to every 20 liters of gasoline. I wonder if diesel vapor in a gas engine will be a good experiement
Had to have had a good bit of gas mixed in there too to run at all, that’s maybe a 3:1 gas to diesel ratio if that. If she’d even been 1:1 gas/diesel it would have been fuel knocking / detonating really bad and barely running at all.
Red Dakota for sale. Daily driver, maintained meticulously....
Now low balling, I know what I’ve got
Whatever happened to the truck!
Lol. I sold it.
Diesel is a gasoline’s Taco Bell
Diesel in a gasoline engine is nothing. Vice versa is the real issue.

the car won't run if you put diesel in a gas engine . It damages your engine

Why tho?
@403 Off Grid RV did you test down one of the engines to see what was happening inside? Genuinely curious.

Turn a magnum into a Cummins with this one trick.
Maximum stupidity but this thing answered my question
Sometimes you need get stupid to get smart
The engine just needs to be warm enough to vaporize the fuel to run on diesel, if the fuel is preheated it would run even better and have more power.
No it will not it will blow up into smiterings

Yup, just a normal dodge.
😄
So nothing happened .. what’s the big deal..
I want to mix a little bit in my predator 212
Is like seafoam
Sounds exactly like my old 94 3000GT
There goes the ozone layer
Green handle DIESEL.
Never ever put diesel in a gas car cause that messes up the engine
I thought it would’ve locked the motor up
No just won’t run
Did the engine over heat though?
Diesel burns colder. So likely not
More miles per gallon.
free smoke machine?
Yep
Don't do what?????????????????????????
It's choochin big time.
I think you blew a head gasket by putting diesel in that truck
HES GONNA FLY TO THE MOON AND AND BE APART OF TRUMPS SPACE FORCE.
Oh sorry don't buy a dodge Dakota
Yeah buy a danger ranger 😉 lol
Had a 3.9 v6 they are actually really reliable strong engines . But who am I to talk I drive a ridgeline now and going to a toyota/lexus next
Nice
Looks lime seafoam lies
