I'm curious why several posters have said the OP's post was AI generated. Is it because of the style, the actual information posted, or something else that just smells wrong? He said it came from a course from a tech institute, which maybe doesn't have the best writing style or something. I personally have a terrible time deciding what is AI and what is real, not just in this particular forum. Thoughts?
Thoughts?... yes I am not AI... I am from a geneneration where farming classes were taught in school to the boys and home ec. to the girls, few males finished grade school as our fathers expected us to work so we worked. So maybe my skills on computer are weak, spelling can be off, and my thoughts not welcomed, etc.. and if that offends some then tell me to leave. I am ok with that.

Cheers.

9 Worst Things You Can Do to a Diesel Engine
  • Letting the fuel tank run low. ...
  • not keeping up with oil changes. ...
  • Using the wrong type of fuel. ...
  • Cold starts without proper warm-up. ...
  • Overloading the engine. ...
  • Skipping coolant changes. ...
  • Neglecting filter maintenance. ...
  • Ignoring warning lights. ...
  • Failing to keep the engine clean.

Using the wrong grade of diesel (e.g., #1 vs. #2, or off-road vs. on-road diesel) can also impact engine performance and emissions compliance. Always double-check the pump before refueling and make sure you understand which fuel type your vehicle or equipment requires based on climate, application and manufacturer recommendations.

I am the OP... are you trying to say I said this?
Where!!!!
It's right there in post number one.

Third on your list of the worst things you can to diesel engine. I'm still curious about how the engine could tell the difference between taxed and non-taxed fuel. At least I've never heard of a color sensor in the fuel system.

Not throwing shade on you. I just was wondering what about the post made others think it was AI. Actually, most of the suggestions seem reasonable to me, though it is obvious from others' posts that there is a lot of local variability as to what "diesel" is.

Id list running it without oil, running without an air cleaner, running in winter without antifreeze ….before running a low fuel tank. 😂

The worst thing you can do a diesel engine is not to appreciate what a wonderful device it is!
Good Luck!
