Default Re: Add 1 pint Diesel to 10 Gal. e-gas, what do you think?

I caught that in the latest EFV8 magazine too. My first thought was Marvel Mystery Oil like GM mentioned. My Pop had a pickup accidentally topped off with diesel at a full service filling station once and he didn't get very far. It wasn't just a pint though.

A small quantity of diesel would just be a top end lube but MMO is made for that and is proven to work well. It will aid the electric fuel pump too which was the purpose that Randy Rundle added the diesel for. I figure Randy was coming up with a solution that a person could literally get near anywhere for the GAR. Otherwise they would have to carry MMO in gallon jugs with them.
