I've always feared it, now I've gone and done it. I inadvertantly added gasoline to my bx22 diesel!!!
Engine started to miss, shudder, and lose power. I ran it for about two minutes to try to determine the problem, then shut it down. When I realized what I had done(gasp), I drained all fuel, disconnected fuel line, and allowed fuel pump to pump the rest out. Refilled tank with diesel, reconnected lines, bled lines, and restarted.
Engines sounds and runs normal now, and reaches full power.
My question is could I have damaged the engine?
Engine has 140 hrs, and seems completly normal.
