What happens if you put gas in a diesel tractor?

If you put gas in a diesel tractor, it can cause serious damage to the engine. Diesel engines are designed to run on diesel fuel, which is a heavier and more oily fuel than gasoline. Gasoline burns too quickly in a diesel engine, which can cause the engine to overheat and knock. This can damage the pistons, rings, and other engine components. In addition, gasoline can also damage the fuel injection system and the emissions control system. If you accidentally put gas in a diesel tractor, you should stop the engine immediately and have the fuel drained and replaced with diesel fuel.
