Cheap Spunk

[DirtyDiesel]

I have discovered (maybe an old trick but i just tried it) a power adding trick thats cheap and i have seen no problems associated with it. The trick is to put 1 gallon of the lowest octane gasoline in a tank of diesel. it gives a noticable improvment in power and throttle response. anybody heard any problems that can happen from doing this.

I would definately like to hear some input on this. How much difference was there?

[DirtyDiesel]

there was a noticable difference between that and just regular diesel

You may very well get away with it in a 7.3, but it is not advisable for a 6.0 since their injectors are very sensitive to water. Gasoline most places these days contains enough ethanol to bond with any minute amount of moisture that may be in your tank and pass it through the water seperator and onto the injectors. Not a cheap fix or affordable fix on the best of days.

but makes the 7.3 scat though

That sounds like a very bad idea. Who gave you this idea. I cant imagine the diesel fuel and gasoline would ever mix.

This is DEFINATELY a bad idea...

FYI: I had a 81 rabbit diesel, they recommended adding gasoline to the tank up to 25% concentration to combat winter gelling. But this manual is 25years old now.

by reading the article and knowing that next year they will be putting even lower sulfer content in diesel i will have to stop doing that even though it gives power. thanx for the motor ruining preventative info
