This guy comes in the shop today. I work at a mobil station in the garage.
brand new camary 05 8k miles and he puts 13 gallons of deisel in a 17 gallon tank. so i charge him to remove the fuel from the tank . now i have 13 gallons of deisel mixid with 4 gallons of gas. question is would you put in your o3 deisel

 

Just dump it in the underground diesel tank. It will be deluted enough, that it won't hurt anything.

 

"Just dump it in the underground diesel tank. It will be deluted enough, that it won't hurt anything."

Are you serious bro? I understand where you're coming from but why contaminate the diesel tank with that crap. Who knows what else that fool in the camry could have put in his tank at one time. He is the guy that filled it with diesel. Obviously, not a rocket scientist! And lets say skeeter does do that, and tomorrow the same thing happens to skeeter's co-worker and he does that, now a standard has been set that will hurt all trucks pulling off that pump in the future. Why would anyone want to purchase diesel from a station that practices that kind of business.

 

just start slowly mixing it in your truck a little bit each fill with straight diesel it shouldt hurt nothin if put in in small amounts

 

I wouldnt put it in mine, ... and I would have charged him a lot to fix his mistake.

 

I wouldn't run it in a $35-$40,000 truck.

You could dilute it down even further, so it's way more Gas than Diesel,
then run it in lawnmowers, chainsaws, etc.

Best bet, use it to kill weeds.

bon fire?
just dump it in your used oil drum and go on.

Hey, there is too much of this crap going on as it is!!!!. Diesel quality is poor at best, we do not need additional dilution/contamination of our fuel.

 

dump it in the gas tank and call it top lube...

 

Remind me not to buy fuel in Flagstaff, AZ.

 

Don't be cheap,just get rid of it,it might save you $30.00 now and cost you $$$$ later. We recover fuel from MVA'S all the time and just dispose of it,it's just not worth the headache!!Just my .02

 

I get to go on service calls for that delema periodically. Charge them to empty the tank and give him the mixed fuel in cans and let him worry about getting rid of it. or get an antique tractor that runs on multi fuel. I have a 36 John Deer that loves it. I haven't had to buy fuel for it in years. Also contact an antique tractor club in your area and give them the mixed fuel for their club.

Don't know about you but I always need parts washing diesel. Should be a good place to use up that bad fuel. I sure wouldn't use it in my truck. If you put it in the diesel underground please tell us so we know where not to buy fuel.

Use it for fires. Thats the perfect ratio, and the controlled burners use a diesel/gas ratio similar to that. -GB

 

i wound't think twice about doing this, as long as the under ground tank was big and full [10,000 gallons or better]...

at work, i pumped a 55gallon drum of bunker C mixed with some #2 and some mobil SCH 3200 gear lube back into out fuel tank to be burned in the locomotives... now you might think the fuel system isn't as critical there, but them electronic EUI's and EUP's on the newer engines are very similar to the injectors and pumps on modern OTR truck engines, just larger in scale, but the internal clearences are the same.. good filters fix all... [and that the tank i pumped it back into is 1,000,000 gallons doesn't hurt either...]
