Is it advisable in winter time to pour petrol into the tank of a diesel engine bus?

Explanation

Correct answer: No, because it leads to a damage of the power supply system and the engine.

Adding petrol to diesel fuel is unacceptable, as it leads to serious damage to the fuel system. Petrol does not possess the lubricating properties of diesel fuel, which causes the precision components of the fuel injection system to seize. In modern diesel engines, even a small amount of petrol can cause irreversible and costly engine failure.
