Thanks to Beagle for posting the correct information, to counterbalance the dangerous suggestion by the resident expert on life/wealth/automobiles/home ownership et al to use 50/50 diesel and gasoline.

I could see a neophyte diesel owner reading the misinformation and ruining his injection pump and engine in short order. A little information is a dangerous thing.....

Also, diesel fuel has much improved since the early '80s, so fuel gelling isn't the issue it once was.

I know a guy who rebuilds diesel pumps for a living, and he loves people who use wvo or kerosene or used atf or used motor oil. Simply because it ruins the injector pump. It's a diesel, use diesel in it. This guy rebuilt the $$$ injection pump in the John Deere diesel powered air compressor I own, and I'm sure not run some homemade brew in it, or use any amount of gasoline mixed in the fuel.

Rant over
