DIESEL FUEL ONLY

[fuseboxer]

I recommend most of us "Grandpa's" should write the words "DIESEL FUEL ONLY" on the backside inside of the fuel door. A fine tip white paint pen permanent paint is what is needed. Twice in the last few years I was looking for a good used tractor I came across a tractor that grandpa died and one of the grandchildren who used the tractor many times over many years was helping grandma with the snow or garden and fueled up with gasoline. The engines were junk. My young grandson is on his way over to pick apples in the orchard and I thought of this. Grandma's gone maybe time to put him in the tractor bucket to pick.

Probably wont help, most kids nowadays cant read :laughing: :laughing: :laughing: . Then again my wife filled up our Dodge with 30 gal of unleaded.......its a diesel truck. $600.00 later its back to running. She probably had her dam* Ipod on and listening to books on tape instead of paying attention to details.

My kids are smart, but if they can't do with a computer they are not interested. We were discussing the zombie apocalypse last night over dinner and they said if I turned my tractor into a zombie killdozer it would be cool. Other than that, they have no interest in tractors.

In keeping with the topic of this thread maybe you should try spraying a little diesel fuel on the trees. :thumbsup:

Good idea for the Grandpa's to do. And maybe carry it one more step and mark the cans for which tractors/engines the fuel is for. I've marked the mix for chainsaw, brush whacker, and leaf blower. Should mark the red can for the gator, splitter, 425 and X485. Then the yellow diesel fuel for the 4300 and the 455. Hadn't thought about it until now, but things could happen any day to "not be around".

Thanks---I feed the deer apples and pears I just do not like the bucks killing two trees a year. The deer eat all the apples few are picked. A few coons but most are gone. Past years we were very heavy with coons.

I have some old diesel fuel but to spray on the trunks and feeder roots may kill the trees.

Any other ideas.
