Ohhh, that sounds ROUGH!

Well they gave the video the appropriate name.

Mine didn't make any strange noises like that. Just ran for a few blocks and then died, like right now. No warning in the middle of the road.

i only put 2 gal in before i caught what i was doing. then i put several qts of oil and filled the tank with diesel. thats was 6 or 8 yrs ago with my 91. if i done that with my 08 i would never even tried to start it. i would have it towed and tank flushed.

my dad did the exact same thing in his psd, green nozzle was not diesel. It died about a block away. drained tank, changed fuel filter, filled with diesel, put in some additive. Had the truck for about a year after that and I don't think it did anything.

In days long since gone by this was our version of winter blend diesel fuel before winter blend came out. A few quarts of gas mixed in the tank kept it thawed out and the system cleaned out all that the same time.

Uncle Bubba is correct....also, if you add just a few gallons, no problem. 1/2 a tank, your getting there. In that case, all you have to do is fill the rest with diesel, and add a quart on motoroil and you can run it out. When she goes down a 1/4 of a tank, add some more diesel.
IF, If, you fill all the way up, your gonna have to drain it.....:rocking: |

I never heard of using gas as thing to keep it from gelling. Might have to tell my friend that. His Cummins gels at least twice a winter. It gelled a few weeks ago and he had to have him tow him home. I have learned not to look for the green handle anymore. I look for the words diesel. If it doesn't say it, I don't buy it. I'm not taking any chances!
