I used to put 2 gallons of gasoline in my old Mercedes 300D per tank of diesel in the winter.

I picked this up when discussing diesel truck refueling issues. I friend of mine with a fleet of diesel trucks panicked when he looked down and noticed he stuck a gas nozzle into his diesel tank. He paid for a tow and to have the tank drained and cleaned. Afterword’s we discussed the event and he thought he had put in 5 to 10 gal of gas into a 40 gal tank. I recommend you check your engine owner’s manual before paying $$ to pump out a diesel tank with a few gallons of gasoline added. Martin Calypso 1971 C&C 43 Seattle
