had to drain fuel, now put some back in but wont start, please help
Ok, i know this should be in the engine section but i dont think as many people look there and i need help quick...
This weekend my idiot cousin pumped off road diesel into my sc400... (it was at a farm, where the gas is in one of those things where you have to manually pump it) i turned it on and about 10 secs later it died. then i drove it WOT for 10 secs, doin about 5-7mph at 500rpm. i asked what he put in and he said gas but later i found it was off road diesel.
so, i get it towed for free back to my house and i loosened the line in from the fuel filter. got all the diesel out...
now, i put 2 gallons of reg. gas in and ive tried to crank it probably 6 times about 5 secs. a time.
do i keep doin that till it fires or do something else? please help me
thanks

you're gonna have to remove the fuel filter and replace it, as well as remove the injectors and clean them. There is not going to be a "quick fix" for this.
If you are LUCKY it MIGHT fire back up without more repairs.
You (he) put oil in the place gas should have been.
Diesel is oil that heats up. Gas is explosive compression. One goes boom, one does not. you might as well have poured water in.
