[QUOTE="tytower, post: 416868, member: 2399"] Ive gotta go put some gas and some diesel in a jar and see which separates to the top or if they stay mixed. However diesel is fired by compression to a set pressure ,ie compression ratio 20 to 1 say Gas is fired by the spark plugs but i'm thinking that if straight petrol gets in there you would get it compressing to about 12 to 1 and then exploding so you would have some severe pre-ignition problems. Possibly crank rod damage. Water sits on top of both so sorting that out is relatively easy. So I mixed diesel with petrol and could see no separation. Looked like a perfect mix and if you think about it for two stroke we mix petrol with a little oil and it goes through and lubricates as it goes. So I would conclude that if the proportions were say 25% petrol 75% diesel then you would likely see little effect specially if you ran for a while then filled up with diesel again and kept lowering the percentage of petrol. Draining the tank and bleeding the system for anything higher than that I would say. [/QUOTE]
