Diesel mixed with gas

[Alan46]

He had a small green sign on the dashboard that read....Ass, gas, or grass nobody rides for free,

What year was that?
I remember a bro of mine that had that same sign, in his 55! Mid 60s I think!

I was a mechanic at UPS and a occasionally a driver would put the wrong fuel in. With your small amount of diesel in that gas the old Chevy with the 350 will use it up. When a driver put gas in a diesel truck the truck will start and run. Until the next stop. Then it won't restart. On the gas powered trucks it depends how much diesel was put in, but will usually start and run but be low on power and smoke.

I got out of the Navy 1n 1968 so probably 69.

Greetings,

Somone at my work accidently topped off one of the small engines with diesel. I would guess that about 1 gallon of diesel was added to the 7.5 gallon tank. The Diesel gas mixture was removed and the plugs and fuel filter was changed. Fresh fuel was added and the engine runs fine now. A fresh oil change is planned as well. All the machines at my work that are gas have "GAS" written on the caps and all the diesel machines have the fuel caps painted the same color as the pump handle.

So my question is what should be done with the gas diesel mixture?

Thanks
Sean

My ex brother in law use to add I gallon of diesel to his tank on a new 1976 Ford pickup everytime he fueled. Said it lubed the top end. Put a zillion miles on that truck. Not sure how many gallons of gas the tank held

I have a farmer friend who doesn’t use any diesel additives or blend #1. He simply puts a gallon or two of gas in his d pickup, or more in his tractors. Has done it for years and swears by it.
