Noting all Hard start cold weather problems lately ,
I have learned There are some tractors I will add to fuel as much as 10% gasoline, Yanmar ,is one for sure ,, seems to start better and runout and power up better in all this cold ,, My neighbor has added a small amount of gas to his 4020 he feeds with ,I resist doing that to my 4020, Have added gas to the 430 Case diesel as an anti-gel measure ,. here in Beautiful Southern Indiana the temps do not stay unGodly cold too long .. trouble is ,, If I were running a tractor treated with gas All day long I certainly would dilute with 100%diesel Fuel filled to the top ,... gasoline in a Diesel makes me Nervous. And I feel My neighbors and brothers and I have been playing with fire in our Trial and ERROR DESPERATION . I wish someone could tell me enuf about the dos and donts that can make me relax with confidence
thankfully My Cummins Dodge is so dependable and reliable I have never added gas .Only time I would consider such a practice unless on a trip in -20 temps, to prevent gelling . just Thinking <..>Jim
