But i bet that engine was well lubed when it was done.... I dont see a "little" amount of diesel in your gas as a bad thing, it is a pretty good lubricant...occasionaly we put a shot of 2 stroke oil in our 4 stroke engines (outboard, bikes, car, generator)... No problems from that yet

Diesel doesn't vaporise as readily as gasoline, so you'd be running super-lean for your starting condition. I tried to start the beetle with some diesel once, when I was young and stupid. :D Now I'm "old" and slightly less stupid. -Kurt On Thu, Aug 26, 2010 at 11:46 AM, MrViggy <[email protected]> wrote: > Typically diesel is a differnt nozzle (usually a different size, too, so you > can't accidentally put it into your car's tank).
