There is NO WAY I'd ever put gas in my diesel. Last winter we had temps down to -44 C and I had no problems with fuel gelling or starting problems. The VP is a ticking time bomb as it is and running a solvent (gas) through it cannot be good.

 

"mixing gas into diesel actually made the fuel not stabil. From what I remember, the diesel/gas mixs become more explosive"

I recall this as well from chemistry. The mixing of gasoline and diesel lowers the flash point below the flash points of the individual liquids.

 

"Everybody knows the double A battery is old school. It's the 9v now!! "


Maybe that's why Mythbusters failed to make it work.

 

nope. it works great.

 

Maybe he is adding gas to keep his sparkplugs from fouling.. Hehehe.
