    [QUOTE=DaneG;478148]A small amount of gas in diesel doesn’t seem to do damage. I used to have a rabbit vw diesel and the owners manual recommended in freezing weather to add 10% gas to summer diesel if winter is not available.[/QUOTE. With today’s low sulphur diesel,the lubricity is a lot lower than diesel from years ago. I wonder if this would be a wise practice now. I found out years ago that a lubricity additive is needed.

      Definately let the coop know whats happening. Gas in a new diesel truck will cost 10 grand minimum if it gets started. You are doing them a favor by smartening the guy up before its a wreck.

            Yeah I have a card lock card already. The fill in question was about location and the rush I was n. Trying to limit my stops. What are the odds?

              Why are limiting your stops?

                I was in a hurry. Hit three birds with one stone at the service center is all.

                  Can’t be worse than the guy that put DEF in the tractor instead of diesel.... I don’t think it even made it to the silage pit.

                  Hopefully yours doesn’t require too much work in the long run.
