  • As others have explained putting petrol in a diesel engine will lead to incomplete combustion definitely in case of a cold start however things might be different in case of higher temperature say in a IDI engine


  • the engine  will not start because the self ignition temperature of petrol is high then diseal so it need an external source like a spark plug to ignite it


  • explosion may happen as the compression ratio of both fuels differ.
