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

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?
