In this video we can see a 2015 Chevy Sonic that bites the dust. It is powered by a 1.8 liter engine with 20.000 miles on it. This is a gas powered car, but it was filled with diesel instead of gas. As we all know, nasty things can happen if you run the wrong fuel.
He removed the diesel and filled it with gasoline back in the tank. However, the problem was, once he started and tried to clean the engine up, it definitely didn`t sound too pretty. Because of this mistake, the engine is completely destroyed.
This 2015 Chevy Sonic is a rental car. The customer which made this very expensive mistake will have to buy a new engine. A brand new Chevrolet crate engine is priced at $9,000. That would teach him a lesson. Sometimes, people are just way too irresponsible with rental cars. Putting the wrong fuel is a very foolish mistake because he should`ve checked if it was diesel or not. Basically what happened is that the diesel fuel wasn`t burning properly. It was getting washed past the cylinder walls and diluted the engine oil, ruining the entire engine due to lack of lubrication.
