The other thread about someone using the wrong oil prompted the following:
Does anyone know what exactly happens if you fill a diesel tank with petrol? Someone once filled a petrol tractor from the diesel tank and it was not happy (just drain and replace). But I am curious about how petrol performs in a diesel engine. I doubt that the result would be spectacular. Diesel has a higher energy density than petrol so petrol is unlikely to blow the thing up. So I would expect that petrol would work. As with oil, I suspect that the net result would be nuisance rather than disaster.
But has anyone tried/experienced it?
