1. Stop the engine immediately. Do not start it again until you have had the fuel system flushed and the engine inspected by a qualified mechanic.
2. Call a towing service to have your vehicle towed to a repair shop. Do not attempt to drive it, as this could further damage the engine.
3. Explain to the mechanic what happened. Be sure to tell them the type of fuel you put in the engine and how much of it you put in.
4. The mechanic will flush the fuel system and inspect the engine for damage. If there is any damage, they will repair it.
5. Once the repairs are complete, you will be able to pick up your vehicle and use it as normal.
Here is a more detailed explanation of why you should not put regular gas in a diesel engine:
* Diesel engines have a higher compression ratio than gasoline engines. This means that the air-fuel mixture in a diesel engine is compressed more before it is ignited. Regular gas has a lower octane rating than diesel fuel, which means that it is more likely to detonate (explode) in a diesel engine, causing serious damage to the engine.
* Diesel engines also require more lubrication than gasoline engines. Regular gas does not have the same lubricating properties as diesel fuel, which can cause the engine to run hotter and wear out prematurely.
* Diesel engines are more sensitive to fuel contamination than gasoline engines. Even a small amount of regular gas in a diesel engine can cause problems, such as reduced power, increased emissions, and engine knocking.
If you have accidentally put regular gas in your John Deere diesel engine, it is important to take action immediately to prevent serious damage.
