TexL3240-- any news?? Keep us up dated on your progress...

I am curious to know what happens with this... I will bet it will crank and run fine once you get the lines clear of all the gas....

I recently was in a hurry and put 5 gallons of gasoline into my tractor. The tractor had about a 1/2 tank of diesel in it at the time. It cranked and ran for about a 1/2 day before losing power and then began to spit and sputter. After I realized what happened, I drained the fuel tank and replaced with diesel fuel and replaced the fuel filter. Since then, I have not been able to get it to crank. Not even a hit. Any suggestions to what I am doing wrong.

We have been waiting for you to come back and tell us some news. Like no engine or insurance covered your loss. It can happen to us someday.

Although I wish everything turned out alright for him, he has me curious as . I know of friends who have but diesel in their motorcycles, it only ran because it was hot and pinged a lot until we drained it out, no damage done. I hope he comes back to let us know.

Thanks Don. Glad it turned out well for this fellow.

Scary way to get of old gas posted by some of the other guys on there, but chain saw gas has oil in it.
