Moment of stupidity cost me a day of cutting.

I forgot about that. I would think it would eventually just mix and you'd probably never know the difference.

 

My old Grand Am fuel pump recirculated quite a lot of gas . Supposedly twice what the injectors needed so they'd never fuel starve.
When I drove 30 miles the gas in the tank would warm up affecting the sensor . I often had more gas indicating in the tank at the end of that 30 miles than when I started. When I first got the car I thought someone was siphoning my tank at night. There'd be quite a bit less gas in the tank in the morning than at night when I got home.

Heh heh...thiught I'd flush out the Bruins fans. I'm just bitter you guys got Chara and we kept Redden. Worst GM decision ever!

 

The tank holds nearly 23 gallons. I only put in about three. All i've read on the net is not to drive the car, or start it even. Can ruin the engine.

 

He's been good, helping the Bruins win the cup in 2011.

However, you can take the big guy back. Age has reduced him to slow and plodding. Still has his reach and can log lots of minutes, though.

He's well into the back nine of his career.

 

Diesel into gas is ok. Or not as bad.

 

I poured 5 gallons of kerosene into a old Ford pickup once........ Realized what I did and filled it full of gas. Ran pretty crappy on that mix but it ran.

 

That actually makes alota sense to me!
I thought it's kinda brilliant!
I would think sloshing around while moving would mix it.
Maybe if you just moved over to a diesel pump and over filled it gas would pour out!

There are resistor fixes for that. Plug inline to correct for the voltage offset!

 

LOL. That was 1989. It's likely a washer and dryer by now.

 

Nope. The diesel and gasoline will mix easily. You won't drive 5 miles before the gas/diesel mix is completed. This is especially true since many diesel vehicles use a recirculation system to keep the fuel warm in winter by bringing heated fuel back to the tank to mix in and keep the tank sort of warm.

 

If gas and oil wouldn't mix it'd make it hard to run a two cycle saw, wouldn't it?

 

Yup. And the fuel would separate from the oil after any unused period of time according to that also.

there just doesn't seem to be an easy quick fix for mixing diesel and gasoline!

 

I found out , chainsaw won't start at all ! when ya put oil in the gas tank and I don't think the gas I put in the oil tank would lube the chain very good

 

I'm sure you're not the first one to do that!

I came real close once to the same thing myself...caught it just before I started pouring!

 

My tree guy was using a Stihl 193T to cut limbs off my tree and I commented that it would be easy to get it wrong. He just smiled and said that once you learn your equipment that just doesn't happen. It made me wonder how long it took him to learn his equipment.
