Why do I need premium gas in my 370Z?
the reason premium is required is because the 370z’s engine has high compression which will make low octane gasoline detonate BEFORE it reaches the combustion stroke. there is an exception to that – which is if the engine is not under stress to put out the power, then the gas will not misfire, thus making 87 octane perfectly fine to use.
Can you run 10 parts diesel to 1 unleaded?
If you have put the diesel in with the petrol you are running 10 parts diesel to 1 unleaded. You should be alright. If I was you, I’d brim the tank every 30 miles for the next 500. Last thing you should do with a mis-fuel is put the key in the ignition, as should as the pump starts… the £££’s start getting added to the bill.
How do you put unleaded into a diesel car?
Open the bonnet and remove the fuel filter. Empty the petrol out and fill it with diesel, then screw it back on. That’ll get rid of a fair bit of petrol. You’ll have to crank the engine a bit to remove the air, its self-priming.

Can you put unleaded gas in a diesel tank?
The point is a small amount of gas in the diesel fuel will do no harm. But the injection pump needs lubrication from the fuel. If the fuel is too diluted, or not oily enough, it can damage the pump. In Europe you can buy diesel cars especially made to run on biodiesel or fuel from plant sources. The biodiesel is sold at gas stations.
