2 or 4 stroke? In a 2 stroke they’ll run like a mofo… for a while. Then they’ll melt. 4 stroke will just granade unless you can keep the pre detonation under control somehow
I did this to my new car, dealership swapped the plugs drained the fuel, put clean fuel in, cleaned it up. I've put 100k on it since. Most people might think you could make this mistake but really, you cannot here in the States the diesel pump is larger than the gas one and won't fit into the fill spout. The easiest way to make this mistake is when the fuel truck is there dumping diesel into the underground gasoline reservoir. Gas stations' insurance company paid for my repairs and I got an interesting story out of it.
idk if it'll work for your truck but I have a portable compressor/battery booster which I absolutely love. at one point I had a slow leak in my tire that the shop never seemed able to fix no matter how many times I brought it in(under warranty, go figure) and that compressor was a lifesaver. Then also my old battery in my vehicle got real weak in the winter, and there again that battery booster was a lifesaver. They're not that expensive either, you can get a really nice one for $200.
My mom's got a halo and will really only get to 45 50 before it gives up where as I need 65 in my truck but it works amazing on our quads and small car
A John Deere like that (not putting diesel in it) once you get em running they will never die. Been running mine for years off of oil changes and basic maintenance
Banshee swap would be nuts! What are your plans for the rear axle? I don't think the stock axle/transmission will take that much power for very long lol.
@@HunterSmith641 My theory is: Any gasoline engine can run on diesel, as so long as the air or diesel is hot; current diesel designs are just to bypass those hot diesel and hot air.
This is awesome. I knew what the outcome would be in advance but I still had to check it out. it would be cool to see diesel put into a high compression engine. Something that requires. 110/116 octane. with the timing advanced with the engine hot I bet it would run half A$$ decent. was always curious tho. Either way its crazy to see it running that well with such low compression. keep up the great content.
It wouldn't run well in a engine with higher compression because it cause the diesel fuel to combust before the spark plug ignites it. This causes the head gasket to blow in most cases
I definitely get what your saying, but the spark ignition has very little to do with the firing. with a higher compression engine it would allow for a better complete burn due to the compression ignition. looks like its time to make a video and see the results. @@dylanteunissen2943
Station had diesel in the wrong pump and I mistakenly put diesel fuel in my car . It ran okay for a few miles but shut off and would restart but die right out . I had car towed to a shop and they told me they had never seen anything like that . They changed the fuel pump , injectors and cleaned the tank . It cost me $1700. bucks and since I paid cash for the gas I didn’t have a receipt to prove I had purchased the gas there .
My grand father actually ran a full tank of diesel through his 340 enticer snowmobile, obviously he didn’t know it was diesel in the can, still runs like a top to this day
A truck driver i knew had some extra "diesel fuel only" decals so he put them on his lawn mower as a joke. A few years later he gave the mower to his mother in law. She called him and said mower was running badly. You can guess the rest!😅
I figured it would run. From 1967 to 1985 I ran my old 1946 FORD jailbar on straight diesel. Never once put gas in the tank. Also it wasn't running on all 8 cylinders. Never let me down in my daily drive.
My theory is: its because the engine is already hot. Diesel needs to be hot or the air around it needs to be hot in order for it to ignite, and the engine being already hot, warms up the air around it and that's why it runs
Have the same mower, maybe not the exact same model. Mine has the V-Twin 22hp. It has 913 hours on it. 3 transmissions replaced but all original engine. Still mows too.
Diesel takes high compression to burn, the heat of the compression ignites the fuel. Kerosene is more flamable and will burn in a gasoline engine once it is warmed up on gasoline. Some small engines years ago had dual compartment fuel tanks ,start on gasoline warm up and switch to kerosene. No. 1 diesel would be more likely to work than no.2. Way less power on kerosene or diesel. The extreme heat from very high compression is what ignites diesel fuel ! Gasoline engines do not have the high compression to ignite diesel and make full power. The vapors are what burns and it takes very high temperatures to vaporize diesel fuel.
I remember hearing my uncle talk about how his dad, during the great depression, would start their car with gasoline and get it running and then he would add kerosene or coal oil, which was a lot cheaper at the time.
Mercury ouboards have developped a spark ignited diesel fueled outboard motors for military applications, this can be a fun development for about any gas engine..
I wouldnt really try putting petrol in a diesel as you may do some expensive damage such as blowing it up and it may not run at all. We mistakenly put petrol in our 4 cylinder diesel toyota Estima Lucida/japanese inport tarago thst is and it would start and run for a few seconds and stall but a diesel fitter told me that we were lucky we didnt blow the bottom end out of it and have you tried putting aero start starting spray in a 2 stroke. Thats a no no as youll seize jt because it doesn't have the oil content in it like 2 stroke petrol does so think about these things before hand as if the motor blows up the last thing you want is shards of metal in you.
Try to remove the fuel filter to drain out and off the watery moisture contents out then add in some more Diesel fuel into your truck. If you we're to use STA-BIL FUEL Treatment with injector and Jet cleaner. I recommend using some of that mixed with marvel mystery oil to about 2 1/2 Ounces of fluid. 4 1/2 ounces of fluids into your gasoline fuel powered lawnmower engine. And even for your Diesel powered engine.
try mixing only 10% diesel into the gas. it does increase the torque. under light throttle it improves the fuel economy. with older carbureted engines, you can lean the idle mixture setting with the gas/diesel mixture. fuel injected engines will lean the mixture from the IAC and O2 sensor. I once ran a 25% kerosene mixture in a tank of gas and it really stretched out the gas mileage! I don't think it really works for small engines. But I have done it with 4 cylinder as well as V8 engines
Never put gasoline in a Diesel Engine! My Dad had a Ford Tractor that had gasoline run in it before he bought it unknowingly. It never did run right when under a load. He eventually sold it.
you can put diesel in a quad/dirtbike engine and itll run pretty good. itll run horribly at first but once the engine gets up to operating temp itll run perfectly fine, cause it has the compression and the heat
Yeah if it has enough low compression or retarded ignition it wont knock too bad. When you put gasoline in a diesel engine it doesnt actually combust well from the compression because gasoline is made to withstand compression without self igniting :) Some diesel engines just wont run with it at all.
Have you ever heard of running deisels on no. 1 heating oil and or kerosene? To keep em running in cold weather... never had any trouble running mine on Kerosene
I had a buddy back in the day when I was in high school who stole a 5 gallon jug of fuel off a construction trailer in his neighborhood one night thinking he scored free gas. Little did he know he just put 5 gallons of diesel fuel in a little Acura RSX. Yep, that was the end of that motor.
Common misconception, fix a flat and slime are not made for highway use tires it will clog your tpms sensors and that 10 dollar can will end up costing $50-$300 depending where you get a new tpms and who you get to program it. It's best to use your spare and get the tire fixed
I would just add in some purified water in with the Diesel fuel it'll make it's own gasoline fuel while running. I wouldn't try putting gasoline fuel inside of your Diesel tractor's unless you just really don't.,or never did ever care about having A good running tractor to use when it comes time to need one. Ready to go on hand and on standby all wrapped into one.
I’d like to see how long a 2 stroke snowmobile would last with oil injection.But only putting Marvel mystery oil or Sea foam in since they are both a light lubricant in the oil injection tank.
maybe you should try to get some rediculous speeds out of that stock engine, i know some people whove made proper racing tractors out of a normal lawn mower
DO NOT put GAS in Diesel that will wreck it straight a way because gas doesnt have the lubrication properties like diesel does. That old john deere will die straight away and you will be up for a new engine.
I have tried this exact thing with a Honda GX160 160cc engine but the compression was too low and the engine was too small but that briggs engine has slightly higher compression and is about 600cc so it makes sense that it would work in this type of engine
Interesting video. I’m surprised how long it lasted. You can’t make a mower faster with the intention of it lasting a while if the tranny is a hydro, idk what the Deere has. Needs to be gear driven.
Prediction!! Those things are pretty bullet proof. I suspect if your engine is still in good condition (good compression) it will run it. Long term could cause some pretty nasty damage, but in the short, you will probably see it smoking pretty bad nd and it might not idle right, especially at low RPM. Don't do it with a car or something you actually care about.
I’m pretty sure you didn’t get all the gas out of the tank I had somebody at my job run a gas air compressor out of fuel & the purposely put diesel pretending not to know the difference When he has worked there for years and has filled it up with GAS Countless times Wouldn’t run at all I went to go start it and it wouldn’t start. I looked in the fuel tank to see if I had fuel and my surprise I see the red off-road diesel fuel on it I had to drain everything and refill with gas and finally worked right again I’m not saying you did it on purpose, but maybe there was just enough gas to mix with the diesel to make it run
Take your truck to a tire shop asap, most "tire slimes" or "fix-a-flat" will begin to quickly eat away at your rims internally. But I'm not a dentist or a carpenter, so I could be wrong 🤔🤔🤔
Try putting Methanol in a petrol engine, I think it's called heat in America. If you put diesel in a petrol engine, put some oil in or the pump will seize up
Diesel is actually a pretty good lubricant, not enough to be used as engine oil but it does have lubrication properties. Gasoline usually does not have any lubrication properties which is why you have to run two strokes with a gas/oil mixture.
Riding mowers are poorly designed in general. My riding mower is easy to drain the fuel tank, but to replace the deck belt, I have to remove the ENTIRE mower deck AND lift the mower up a little for clearance. To remove the gas tank, I have to remove part of the engine cover. Like, whoever designed these things were idiots or someone just threw a bunch of components together and said "good enough".
It's got to do with having to be compact. Generally engineers design these things of off requirements in anyway they can, and more often than not, with the clearances they have, they'll have to design these things the way they are unfortunately.
what happens? not much, really - a gummed up carburetor, a lot of smoke, and a badly-fouled spark plug or 2... gasoline engines don't get hot enough for 'compression ignition', and without something to vaporize the diesel, it's not gonna burn...
Most likely won't run at all. Diesel engines ignite with compression, they lack a spark plug that would ignite gasoline. Gasoline is made to withstand compression without igniting.
The more you added, the more trouble the mixture would have lighting off. Octane rating adds resistance to pressure and pre-ignition. In simpler terms, the higher the octane rating, the harder it’s going to be to get it to light on fire.
You should NEVER fill a gas can if it is not on the ground...!!! I have seen static electricity ignite a gas can when held, like you did...!!! ALWAYS fill your gas cans on the ground...! Never hold it or fill it in the bed of your truck, put it on the ground...!!!
I would love to see a version of this diesel fuel in a modern gas vehicle i know it would be very expensive as to the loss of the vehicle if it would even try to start but i figure with all the computers in modern vehicles it would refuse
There's a story of one guy in the comments that had the gas station dump diesel into the gasoline reservoir and fueled up their new car, dealership apparently just changed the spark plugs, clean gasoline and cleaned the engine overall and it was back to life.
