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.....

 

Yah, that's what mine did. Welcome to the Dumass Club.

 

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!

 

Don't this on any of these newer trucks. The rubber seals they use won't stand up to the gas anymore. Same reason your not supposed to use over like B20 Bio-fuel in em either.
