Re: Contaminated gas?
 
I would think that it would take a lot more than a little bit of diesel in
the tank to make a significant difference......

Used to fill the tank for a guy that swore by a gallon of diesel
in the mix once a month. Never cottoned to it myself.

Re: Contaminated gas?
 
I agree.........so, is it really diesel contamination that is causing the
problems?

Re: Contaminated gas?
 
I can't see a bit of diesel doing damage to much other than the catalyst.
Diesel would do little more than smoke, and smell a bit strange. I too have
heard about people mixing the two thinking it helped their petrol motors.

On the other hand, most of the miracle snake oils sold are kerosene (diesel)
based.

I think they are leading you down the road.... eh?
