Diesel in a new GT-R LOL

[rbtmak]

Apparently, some guy picked up a new White GT-R from Southside Nissan on Friday.


Within 24 hours, the guy filled up his brand new GT-R with diesel.

Needless to say, the car had to be towed in to Richmond Nissan.

They are not too sure what needs to be done.

Looks like the 1st GT-R to potentially have the warranty voided from something either than Launch Control LOL

I...don't....think so.

Sounds like a GTR tall tail. If you doubt me try and put diesel in your car and see what happens. You'll get most of it on you and not in the tank. Diesel nossels are larger for that very reason. Leaded nossels are bigger too so the Americans can't put it in their unleaded only cars (not sure if they even sell leaded down south anymore).

I buy 110 leaded all the time, it's the same nozzle.

Diesel nozzles can be the same size sometimes too, but often they are larger even at "low speed" auto diesel pumps.

the high speed diesel pumps will not open the little flapper door.

I ment 87 leaded for the dudes that still have Grandma's all origenal '72 Valiant. I don't think they are worried about someone mistakingly filling up with $12 per gallon 110. If you saw a small nossel on a diesel pump it was on there by mistake. They are all supposed to be big to keep the totaly innept from putting diesel in their Civic (or GTR).

I think Darwin might have something to say about this .

There will be nothing wrong with the engine when they flush the lines + tank and fill it back up with gas.

Exactly. The diesel couldn't have even burned really, as it required much more complicated procedure than gasoline does to ignite. The car wouldn't have even started.

NOW, if he put gas into his Diesel car....THAt would have been a FAST diesel (for about 2 minutes...lol) till it BBQ'd.....hehe.
B O O M !.

the fuel in the lines/rail would have meant that a start up was possible. Then it would be smoking like a train and once off it would not start again because of the obvious spark resistance of diesel.
