Full Tank diesel + 1 liter unleaded gasoline

[TEAL]

Some of my officemates with diesel rides are recommending this para daw di mausok ang XTO ko. Totoo po ba ito? Wala po ba ito masamng effect sa engine? Thank you po.

[kimpOy]

dont do that, unless you want to visit hanson and doc diesel's shops.

that topic been discuss here and at the old kotse.com
even in ai.

try to do a search.

here's some links

Diesel Engines Maintenance Do's and Don'ts

with the infamous "strainer" tip ni kupaloids

have you tried mixing KEROSENE with your diesel fuel?

TEAL,

eto lang ang masasabi ko, if you do that your in deep Sh%^t wag mo gagawin yan....

yun lang

[pajerokid]

Not recommended

[fierari]

wag pre mag bio diesel ka na lang.

[Ungas]

That's a big no no... ginawa ko na yan dati sa Toyota 2C engine, after 500kms. bogged down ang injection pump, bili ng bagong nozzle tips, re-calibrate ng injection pump. Barado lahat ng strainers. Kung tinuloy ko pa susunod na yung makina.

Diesel engines need cetane not octane from gasolines.

Foolish me! Ang tanga ko talaga! Ginawa ko muna bago ako nagtanong sa inyo! Nag full tank ako kagabi ng XTO ko ( I think that's 50 liters) then pinalagyan ko ng 1 liter na unleaded gasoline sa Shell.

Would you suggest that I have my tank drained? Would that 1 liter do the adverse effects discussed in the links given by Kimpoy? First time ko lang po ginawa. Thanks.

Lord, 'Wag naman po sana masira ride ko. Promise, di na ako uulit. When in doubt, magtatanong muna ako sa mga experts dito sa tsikot.com. Amen.

Drain mo na kaagad then, ipalinis mo ang tank mo. I would suggest you put biodiesel on your next re-fill para mas suabe....Mr. Suabe!!!

[pajerokid]

I think there's no need to drain the tank. basta magpa-full tank ka na lang parati para ma-dilute yung gas...

but then again i could be wrong.

[Ungas]

Nah... no need to drain the tank. Just fill it up like pajerokid said. It's no use to drain all the fuel, by now it is probably on its way to your engine. A liter would not greatly damage it I suppose.

[OTEP]

Winter mix ang ginagawa niyo (although hindi precise ang portions). Ang problema, there has been no winter season in the Philippines since the last ice age pa siguro.

Just keep on filling up with diesel to dilute the gasoline you poured in.

objection your honors! :D

i'd play it safe TEAL. xwind XTO din ride ko. The worst the gasoline can do is dissolve the rubber fuel hose after the water separator and after the fuel filter including the rubber gasket of the fuel filter. pag lumusot yun sa fuel filter ..direcho yan sa fuel injectors natin. dissolved rubber will not burn... so it will clog the injectors... pag umabot pa sya sa cylinder.... :confused: ewan ko na.

gasoline is a lot more powerful solvent than diesel. to convince yourself, try soaking a rubber gasket in gasoline and in diesel. ewan ko lang kung di matunaw sa gaso ang goma.

best compromise... drain half of your fuel tank.. that's about 25 liters or 4 large containers of wilkins distilled water (6 liters per plastic bottle yun ang alam ko). then full tank mo ulit ng diesel para madilute.

kung gusto mo mag-siguro.... drain mo na lahat. better safe than sorry. ;)

[OTEP]

Akin na lang yung na-drain, pwede. :D

[x-wind]

hirap talaga ................. kaya pati bio diesel di ko pa ma try .................dito lang muna ako sa shell ultra

[cj]

the resident chemist RSNALD, has spoken. definitely better to drain your tank. how long ago was your full tank anyway? nakalahati na ba yung tank? if so, pafull tank mo na lang agad para ma-dilute yung gasoline.

ibang usapan ang biodiesel. safe ang biodiesel pre. yung last load, nung last EB last aug. 30. Loaded a full gallon (about 4 liters) in a almost half tank of diesel. alang problema pre. Na check ko na fuel filter and the rubber fuel hoses, no effect. lilinis pa emission mo...lalakas pa hatak.
Pero load muna in 1 liter quantities, then ramp up gradually.

pwede ba ang biodeisel sa 4gj2 ang makina ng bighorn? magkano ba ang biodeisel saan nakakabili nito? Thanks

[Ray]

You can call these numbers below. Start with a 5% blend. Ok na yon.

[cj]

rsnald,

isnt it the other way around? initial "dosage" is 5% ratio and then 2% ratio for maintenance?
