Bought myself a TSC riding lawnmower with a Briggs 24 horse V twin. The other day I mistakenly put about 2 gallons of diesel in the tank. There was about a gallon of gas already in the mower and the engine was warm. I went back to mowing and the mower started having a funny smell but was running okay. I shut it off and then restarted it. It smoked and sparked knocked so i drained it out (my fuel was red and the diesel can was empty) (duhhh!!). I refilled it with fresh gas and added a little Lucas fuel system cleaner. I've been told that diesel in a gas engine won't hurt it. Any ideas?
