I bought a blue can and filled it with kerosene. they took it and used it. kid down the street, his car sat in his drive all summer. I say I am money ahead. I never told him to put it in his car, it was kerosene. they had to clean out all of the kerosene from the car and the boy had to tell his dad why there was kerosene in the tank. lol

It's been 2 weeks & no takers of my water/gas blend & I need to use the can. Recently installed security cameras & was hoping to spot them taking it. Sam's Club Samsung was $499 for 4 cameras & hard-drive then $170 for a 29" tv.
A camera system is so handy. I heard a knock on the door at 4:40 a.m. Sunday but by the time I was dressed & hesitantly made my way there the knocker was gone. I reviewed the previous 15 minutes to see that it was the neighbor lady that has dementia. Called her to check in. Was nice to remove any anxiety from my mind.

Actually...
Just between us, dumping diesel in a tank destined for a gasoline engine does little real harm, it likely won't run real smooth and it will smell a bit odd and it may even not run at all but the diesel does no permanent mechanical damage to a gasoline engine.

Diesel is basically very low octane gasoline.
No, a gasoline engine can't and won't run on straight diesel.
But the oily fuel does no actual harm to the engine.
All right, it might foul a plug or three.

It can appear to the inexperienced driver that serious harm has occured.
But it has not.
The inexperienced driver may end up with a large repair bill, too.
But that is nobody's fault but theirs.

If a gasoline tank is full of diesel, draining it is the only option.
It's not hard to do, annoying, time consuming, but not hard.
If they didn't put that much in, adding super unleaded to the F mark fixes it.

So, mixing diesel where there should be gasoline, good for some laughs, no harm done.

Now, putting gasoline through a diesel engine is a different story.
