I have tractors from the 1960s on the farm my family bought new back then. These tractors all have been started multiple times a week every Canadian border winter in the well below zero Fahrenheit early morning hours. We (grandfather, father, and myself) have been doing this, the tractors whole lives. We obviously don’t run them on it, just starting use. But doing this likely 150 times a year, for over 50 years, hasn’t stopped them from running, or seem to have damaged them. Most have never had the engine even opened up, besides removing the valve covers or something small like that. Each start easily in the summer months still, and are used regularly still also. A new tractor? Yes we got many, and no we don’t use starting fluid on these, they have warranties still. And trust me, they need it, as they break down way to much. Garbage electronics and computers mounted all over them, and hold up like the cow shit they are supposed to help clean up in a farm environment. I will take my old Massey Ferguson 135 or 165s reliability any day over the new stuff. The only advantage the new stuff has is modern attachments for special uses, but the old ones can still do everything important.

[@Mattlawton-ft6ew]

​joe125fuln no it will be the pump

[@MikkoRantalainen]

Either fuel pump or the injectors. The injector mechanism is designed to use fuel that lubricates the part and if the injector starts to wear as a result of missing lubrication, the high pressure will damage the metal parts pretty fast. And diesel engines run poorly even with normal wear in the injectors when injectors are old enough.

[@lenmar6382]

The the injection-pump on this model is lubricated by the engine-oil, not by the fuel. it´s an old pre-chamber turbo-diesel (not a cdi) with a mechanic in-line injection-pump, the best you ever could get.

I used to mix sun flower oil (instead of 2 stroke oil) in my 50cc puch maxi with shaved cylinder head, having it reduced by approx 1 mm and higher compression, it did well over 10.000 rpm, it didn't get off the line without help of my feet, but once going it was almost like a F1 moped, it sounded amazing and smell like a restaurant. pretty much stock, but almost 80 km/h. Just using a book from the library on 2 strokes and modifying the cy, head and piston with files, grinding paste using glass plate, widening the intlet/exhaust port, manifold. It behaved like a diesel, you could pull the lead from the spark plug and kept on running, the spark plug was red hot.

[@alasdair4161]

I did that with a Vespa 150S once, when they were worth $50. Mine lasted about ten minutes before shredding the clutch corks. I replaced the buttons with wine bottle cork slithers and upped the spring tension with inner valve springs. I then added some nitrous using a pocket 'butox' welding kit with a custom made injector plate under the Dellorto carb and used the propane component of the welder to richen the mixture, tuning it with huge revs with a closed throttle and dribbling oil in to keep it from seizing, I triggered the nitrous with a hydraulic solenoid valve. It went like stink until I hit third gear on the maiden nitrous run then it split the entire engine casing in half between the gearbox and crankcase then threw the conrod out the other side. It punched three holes including the big one that separated the gearbox. What a blast.

The heat from gasoline damaged the engine. But if you try a mix of 10% gasoline with 90% diesel, you will get power boost at the expense of a bit of more heat. You'll be mixing cetane with octane, and if the gas pipes are not adequately prepared the seals might decompose (the fuel system is prepared for diesel and not gasoline).

[@bobirving6052]

@pedrorocha6203 Gasoline does not have more “power” or “heat” than diesel. Diesel actually has more power. The overheating would be from something else, like more friction or incorrect burn of the fuel.

[@halbvoll1]

That was the video with the best translation, even original audio was good and clear, great improvement

[@CloudHindlen]

The gasoline causes the diesel engine to run hotter than normal because it lacks the lubricants that diesel and oil have. Part of the cooling factor of a diesel engine is the diesel itself. That combined with the cylinders being washed down with gasoline makes for very bad things.

[@federruchi6147]

Let's not forget the main factor- preignition

A company where I live switched over to used cooking oil from commercial deep friers. You knew when you were following one of their trucks because it smelled like popcorn.

[@vincentrobinette1507]

Overheating wasn't caused by the types of fuel, but rather, a stuck thermostat. Even if the coolant levels are up, if the thermostat doesn't allow coolant to circulate when hot, the engine heats up rapidly. That would also explain the fans not coming on when hot. The hot water isn't circulating through the radiator. The fan sensor is in the bottom tank of the radiator, and if no hot water makes it down there, the fans won't come on. This engine would have survived just fine, if water had been flowing through the radiator once it warmed up. The only concern with alternate fuels, is lubrication of the high pressure fuel pump. Surprisingly, the pump isn't what went wrong!

Gasoline burns much faster than Diesel fuel, the problem was injection timing, with a gas engine you need timing to be at least 10-2 degrees before top dead center of piston travel, and a Diesel engine injects almost at top dead center, so the gasoline had already burned up by the time 20 degrees after top dead center was reached, and the air was not regulated by a throttle, so it could burn very hot.
