Re: Diesel fuel in plastic \"gas\" cans
i used to use our same cans for gas and diesel since when i used them for diesel i came home and poured it in right away so there was no confusion as to what was in them, well the way my tractors filler is you cant get the last cup or two of diesel outa the can, so i had forgoten one time and needed some gas for my little motor scooter, poured the last bit from the can in there which was about a half tank in the little honda scooter, headed up the road and it ran great then started smoking real bad and smelled like a diesel truck, that was when i realized what i had done, no harm to the scooter but it kept the mesquitos away for a while. after that i set up a beer keg with an electric fuel pump and a 10 ft hose for diesel, it works nice, put it in the truck and fill it up with 15 gallons of diesel and take it home and clip the pump wires to the battery and in about 5 minutes its all pumped into the tractor tank, no lifting involved and since its stainless steel no worries about rusting inside, only downside is that ya sure get some funny looks at the gas station when your holding the diesel nozzel filling a beer keg /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
