Emergency Help!!!
A made a huge mistake i was not paying attention and i had put in diesel fuel into my infiniti g35 sedan 2005.
The tank was about half empty and so i went to fill it up and mistakenly put diesel fuel in the car.
I really dont want to blow my engine any suggestions?
how can i clean it or run it out ?

If you did manage to get the nozzle in there and really did fill the tank do not start the car. The fact that you are posting leads me to believe you already drove it somewhere, in which case best of luck to you.

If you were driving an 84 sentra, I would be inclined to tell you to just siphon out the fuel and live through the temporary knocking and smoking. But considering it's a G, you should see a mechanic as soon as possible to get your fuel tank/lines removed and cleaned.
Do not start the engine for any reason, have it towed to a mechanic have them drain and flush the fuel system and hope that it did not do a lot of damage. Good luck.

Dont even ask how i managed to do that...
All i no is wen i try to start it now it makes a boom boom boom and smokes really bad and just dies.
What is the worst damage it could have done to it maybe filters and sparkplugs need to be replaced?
also this will void my warranty wont it

Do not attemp to start the car any more. The more you attempt to start it, the more diesel you are pumping into your engine and risking ruining your $1k injectors.

Just Googled it...basically, what you've just been told. Don't start it anymore, take it to dealer or whomever has the proper equipment to drain the fuel system. I read that in some cases (I don't know if this includes Infiniti or not) that some seals have to be replaced. It might be best to talk to your dealer to see if they have dealt with this type of issue before.

either you were really high when you did this or the station that you bought the fuel from is WAY outta compliance. The nozzle should have never fit in your car and the color on the handle itself should be a different color than standard gas and the pump should be clearly market DIESEL. Pray that it's not a form of Bio-diesel. Hope you have a good mechanic and that you did not do too much damage - sorry about the loss your pocket book is going to feel.
