Fuel Specialists Please

Guys I goofed last night. Real tired after work and caught myself filling with fuel oil at 1/2 tank. Was really more concerned that it was $1.73 as apposed to $1.66, because I know they're close. Anyway, I went in and paid, acted like I meant to do that, went down the road and topped off with Diesel. I was concerned about moisture, lack of additives, and pump lubrication, so I put in over half a bottle of Power Service. No noticeable change in prformance or gauge readings, some of the rattling (injectors?) seems to be muffled. Should I expect any surprizes? I plan on running it all through, and not changing the filter til they start pumping summer mix. <br><br>Thanks Guys!<br>Don

Re:Fuel Specialists Please

My fuel / heating oil distributors out of Waverly and Hopewell have a big stamp on the fuel oil receipts that says &quot;This is dyded diesel fuel for off road use only, penalty for on road use&quot;. You should not have any problems at all as long as there is no dye in what you put in the tank if I understand you right.

Wasn't dyed, but was definitely fuel oil, not kerosene. I, m sure it aughta be diluted enuff, but if the pump goes, I guess I'll hafta get a performance pump.
