706 gas in diesel by mistake

farmalcrazy · Oct 2, 2010

I got about two quarts of gas dumped in my diesel tractor by mistake. I added 5 gallons of fuel and figured it would be ok. Was wondering if this is too much gas. The tractor is still running but very rough. can the gas cause issues with the pump. It seems the 4,5,6, injector lines are vibrating like they are out of fuel. PLease any info would be appreciated.

Two quarts in an entire tank of fuel shouldn't even be noticeable, but if it's reacting that badly it's probably a good idea to drain it out, purge the lines, and start fresh.

VW used to (maybe still does) recommend in their owner's manual a 10% dilution of Diesel fuel with gasoline in their Diesel cars when the weather gets bitterly cold. Two quarts into 5 gallons is 10%.

Add some diesel fuel conditioner and more diesel to dilute as much as possible. Dave
