Brother put about 3 gallons of deisel in my tank,tank was already low so its mostly deisel. it runs on 2 cylinders maybe? or at least it sounds like it before it dies. I havent done anything to it yet. Going to work on it today. Its a 96 lumina.


how would i best go at this? i was thinking purge the lines,siphon the tank,change fuel filter,pull the plugs and turn the motor over to spit it out the cylinders.

My friend did this to her new jeep. Not sure if this is the right thing to do but this is whatshe did and it didnt do much dmanage i think. After she relized what she did, (she didnt put much deisel in) she filled the rest of the tank full of premium gas. and from there her dad gave her some kind of fuel additive. and for the next 4 or 5 tanks of gas she ran premium just to make sure everything got cleaned out. i hope this is somewhat reliable info. Not sure if its the right way or not

Probably need to do that a few times
biggest thing would probably be clogged fuel injectors

Well looking into it i either have a headgasket or intake problem.the old is coffee colored and this has got to be a coincidence because diesel should not have been able to do this.

A 96 Lumina has reached its life expectancy of 34 days, Continue to fill it with diesel and then set the interior on fire.

I'm pretty sure thats what the GM Manual says..

i respectfully agree. car would make a good poser flexin shot with the jeep

Well you can either drop and drain the tank, or you can top it off with premium. It's not quite the same thing but i've accidently put diesel in my lawn mower, realized and topped it off with regular gas and besides running rough until I ran it dry it was fine. You shouldent need to purge the lines and all that, a little bit of diesel definitely wont kill it.

x2 3 gallons of diesel wont be that bad if you filled your tank with premium. If your worried just siphon tank then fill with premium.
