Huh. 
Before you accuse someone to be irresponsible follow the tread and read the answers!!!
1. Concerning the theme to add 10 % gasoline to diesel; I wrote that: IN OLDER DAYS…
2. I said that this was done with older Diesel fuel and therefore with older engines.
3. I just answered the question of guudasitgets about his old farmer.
4. I warned to never fill-up your Diesel with Gasoline.
5. It’s proven that millions of Europeans did that, IN OLDER DAYS, and I never heard that this could harm an OLDER Diesel.
6. Gasoline is just a more refinished fuel as Kerosene and Diesel.

7. ConnClark confirms what I wrote. I don’t think that GM would recommend such a thing if it was irresponsible.
8. I never recommended doing that today!
So please lets have a rational discussion without the need for someone to have to post such an useless and justifying posting just because you didn’t follow the thread. |
You're re-interpreting your post HAL9999. You said 10 -15% gasoline
will do it.

"Usually 10 - 15 % of gasoline will do it. But remember never fill-up your diesel up with gasoline."

To me this is a very clear statement. You didn't say "
would have done it", you said "
will do it". You were clearly saying that adding 15% gasoline is OK, but a full tank of gas is not OK. What is there to misinterpret?
The eight-point (!) rebuttal notwithstanding, I think it quite rational to have said it was irresponsible to have made that recommendation.
To ConnClark:
That's interesting about the Chevy Luv manual. I wonder if there were any caveats such as the maximum amount, or "only in an emergency" or "drain tank and refill with diesel fuel as soon as possible"? My Chevy 6.5L diesel manual says to never add gasoline to its fuel.
