I once pumped about a gallon of gasoline in my diesel before I saw (actually smelled) what I was doing, I had just grabbed the wrong nozzle. I was in the middle of no-place, so I just filled it with diesel and it ran fine (only about 5% anyway). When it got to about half a tank I refilled it again.

I can't say what it would do in that engine, But an old time MB mechanic(70+yrs old) told me that if I ever put that in my MB to just add 1 qt of ATF for every gal of RUG and I would be fine.........and I was.

I paid 3.00 today for one batch and 3.19 for the other.
I really have cut the fleet down. I mainly just have been driving the truck. And occasionally the autocrosser. My mrs drives the pt and my youngest lovely daughter is driving the 300cd. I am still pecking away at getting the 240/300d on the road with the body damage. I just ordered patch panels from sherman yesterday. Tom W

i would drain half of it and fill the rest up with diesel and dump in a few gallons of synthetic motor oil.

The handle was yellow at the Mobile I used this week. I really hated putting diesel in my 300D this week. I'm in the middle of a run from Tennessee to Chicago and back. I should end up using 43 gallons of biodiesel and 10 gallons of diesel total. The 10 gallons of diesel was to help with the cold weather we were supposed to have this week in Chicago.
The good part is that I am really careful about what kind of fuel I buy. -Jim
