The other thread about someone using the wrong oil prompted the
following:
Does anyone know what exactly happens if you fill a diesel tank with
petrol? Someone once filled a petrol tractor from the diesel tank and
it was not happy (just drain and replace). But I am curious about how
petrol performs in a diesel engine. I doubt that the result would be
spectacular. Diesel has a higher energy density than petrol so petrol
is unlikely to blow the thing up. So I would expect that petrol would
work. As with oil, I suspect that the net result would be nuisance
rather than disaster.
But has anyone tried/experienced it?
