Heads Up for small engine repair guys

[Stimw]

Today is the second time I have found Diesel fuel in a gasoline tank. This one was a 5hp Honda. With the new low sulfer diesel people think it is gas because it dosen't stink.
If you are working on engines for other people keep this in the back of your mind when troubleshooting.

Happened to my son, who's a small engine mechanic. Guy brought in a brand new mower he had bought for his wife- filled it up for the second time, and it quit running. My son couldn't figure out what was wrong in the parking lot, so started to unload it, then spotted the diesel can in the bed of the truck. The rest was easy, but the customer was sure red-faced!
