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

[1952henry]

It was a belief that the horizontal two cylinder JDs would have excessive cylinder wear so it wasn't unheard of for farmers to mix some diesel with gas in hopes of avoiding the wear. I have heard of stories of up to 20% diesel used. No blown up engines or other issues except some smoke. Of course the excessive wear was just a wive's tale. Probably started by folks who owned tractors with vertical cylinders. Guess that wive's tale is no sillier than the one about a little diesel in gas inviting the devil into your engine.
