Team,
New to the forum. I hauled my Mahindra 2538 to a friends to do some work. It is on the trailer, and I noticed that the fuel level was low during start up. Yep, grabbed the wrong can, filled it up, started it in prep for unloading, and it ran until it stalled. "Thought bubble" - "You poured 93 octane into your diesel tractor!". I stopped all action, grabbed my auto siphon, and sucked all the gas out...of the tank. Even pulled the fuel line off the bottom of the tank and let the residual drain out...yep, I used a catch can.
At this point, I'm at a loss because there are differing opinions out there about next steps to bleed out any remaining gas fuel...before putting the right fuel in.
Is there a thread out there, or do any of you have recommendations on best ways to purge the fuel system so I can get'r back on the farm?
