Hi. I accidently put in about 2 gallons of diesel gas in my unleaded only car. I wasn't paying attention until I drove for about 3-4 miles then I noticed something went wrong so the car stopped working and I was lucky I could pull over to the side.

what is the cheapester way for me to get it to work? I heard if I fill up the tank with unldeaded fuel then the diesel will eventually dilute? Please help! Brand new car and I really need this car for school!

Hi there,

fill up with fuel change the filter it should only be a bit smoky and the power will be down, but to do this properly you will need to flush the tank off all fuel, this will need to be done by a mechanic as there is no tank drain point.
