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.

I did that with a Vespa 150S once, when they were worth $50. Mine lasted about ten minutes before shredding the clutch corks.

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.

[@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!

[@pedrorocha6203]

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).

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.

I wonder if you could run it on 100LL. It's 100 octane gasoline with TEL. It's used on general aviation aircraft and the lead is specifically there to prevent petrol knock, but will also provide lubrication which petrol does not.

[@edifyguy]

No. The main problem is that 100 octane gasoline, with or without lead, is designed specifically to be highly resistant to compression ignition. "Petrol knock" is compression ignition, and is the only ignition a diesel engine uses. As such, it won't ignite reliably, and when it does, it will almost always be at the wrong time, hence it behaves very badly and damages the engine very quickly if you try to push through like they did.

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.

Wow, someone invented a scarier combination than conventional refrigerant and propane (fake refrigerant)-conventional refrigerant and starting fluid! That's a terrifying combination. Starting fluid is the most easily ignited chemical sold commonly to consumers, and you're mixing it with conventional refrigerant, which produces some of the most deadly combustion byproducts produced by anything accessible to consumers. Hence, you're exponentially increasing the odds of a refrigerant fire in an accident, making those deadly gases that much more likely to form right next to you and whoever else was involved in the accident. Also, if a future owner who isn't a DIYer takes this mixture to a shop, I shudder to think what it would do to their equipment, and there is no way they could reuse that chemical soup, which would be very expensive for them to have destroyed. If you didn't get the hint, this is extremely dangerous, probably violates Federal law (and is definitely illegal in certain states which prohibit the use of flammable refrigerants in motor vehicles) and is just generally a very bad idea.

It's much less flammable than starting fluid, and doesn't produce anything toxic if it does catch fire. It's also super cheap, and many say it works better than R-134, on par with R-12.

Yes it ran on all oily fuels but Gasoline is a dry fuel and overheated due to lack of lubrication in fuel.

[@-aid4084]

The gasoline fuel needs a specific amout of air to fuel ratio in order to either burn cool and make sufficent power. Diesel engines control the amount of fuel injected, and they usually have a completely unrestricted intake with loads of air. This means you can only control the AF ratio with the throttle pedal. You would either be running it too lean and overheating the engine, or running it too rich and bogging down. Usually the fuel map in a gasoline car controls the fuel injected, but in this case it was the throttle and only the throttle, while the amount of air was controlled by the rpm only.

[@oojimmyflip]

used to add up to 10% petrol to vegetable oil to stop it freezing in the winter time and it ran fine in an old citroen xud diesel engine with a bosch fuel pump and a 12 volt dc heat exchanger. the problem with petrol in a diesel engine is there is not enough lubrication for the pump diesel oil is very oil rich and energy dense. Modern High pressure diesel injection systems wont tolerate petrol because of the fuel pressure being to low. it is hard to run one on even engine oil or vegetable oil, older engines pre 1998 do a lot better.

The truck was hauling 14k pounds and it drove on gas for about 40 minutes before it started to miss fire and heard a Hugh pop and the truck die and didn't want to start up. Had to take it to the mechanic and do a flush. Thank God the engine didn't get messed up

Running gasoline in a diesel engine is a bit hard on it, even for engines designed to run on both fuels. Those engines recommended that you always treat the gasoline with motor oil when using it. The good news is it doesn't have to be fresh motor oil, it can be filtered, but used motor oil. Mechanically injected diesels are also better for this type of experiment. Another fuel you should try is to use butane and or Propane vapor in the engine after warm up. Obviously, you want to use vapor so if you use butane, this will be a summer experiment. You will not have to mix in motor oil if vapor is used as it will not wash the cylinder walls. In winter, compressed natural gas would be a better option as it is still a gas even at colder temps.

[@twocvbloke]

Non-oily fuels used in a diesel engine end up washing the cylinder walls of lubrication, so they heat up faster, and then end up causing pistons to expand, trashing the cylinder walls and then seizing up into a boulder, that engine's toast... :P

[@brysonshires9742]

How would you explain a gasoline engine not washing the cylinder walls out. I think it's more lubrication of the high pressure pumps

[@twocvbloke]

@@brysonshires9742 Diesel does lubricate the various pumps involved, but in the pistons and cylinders, things are a little different, as a diesel has thicker rings to maintain higher compression ratios thus more surface area that needs lubing, and this relies on the lubricity of the diesel fuel to aid in keeping them from scraping the cylinders, take away that oily fuel and the rings aren't being lubricated as fuels such as petrol or the starter fluid at the end wash the remnants of diesel off the walls, basically leaving the top of the pistons "dry", and of course this increases friction, friction generates heat, and so-on, petrol engines aren't as tight-fitting so can get away with thinner rings so less friction issues, and for petrol engines, there are lubricants in the fuel (again, these aid with the pumps) which help keep things sliding smoothly in the cylinders as well... :)

[@meaculpamishegas1121]

I know what’s wrong with it, it’s got gas in it Diesel adds a whole lot of lubrication to the system, gas is as good at cleansing oil from cylinder walls as diesel is at lubing them; the extra friction is what caused excess heat. The ether in the starting fluid wears on the, typically, vanadium alloys that are used in cylinder linings

Non electronic diesels will run on any mineral based oil however synthetic oils do not burn well and will gum it up quickly.

[@MarkDolan-ke1vk]

It will lean out due to high boost diesals run plus the seals in dorsal pump will fail soon I suppose it could be tuned with lower boost and better seals in pump

[@maikeru01]

I'm only taking a guess here. I could be completely wrong but my understanding is that deisel engines dont have spark plugs. they use compression to ignite the fuel instead. so if you put regular gas in, i suspect it will not ignite and youll just end up flooding the engine, but it will just misfire, stall and then the fuel will evaporate. but if you put deisel fuel in a regular car i think it could ignite in the wrong times and places and do some serious damage. maybe im totally wrong but yea just a guess.

[@alberthofmann420]

Did you even watch the video? It ran on gasoline "fine"...

[@MikkoRantalainen]

One interesting test would be to run it on engine oil and try how much gasoline you can mix into the engine oil and still run the engine? I would guess that 50% : 50% might still run. I would also assume that 0W-XX oil would flow better through the fuel filter.

[@nounoufriend1442]

Gasoline has far higher ignition temperature (octane ) so near impossible for diesel to ignite pure gasoline (flash points lower but diesel ain't got spark plugs) . Injection pump lubrication is an issue but fortunately unlikely to damage as engine wont run on pure gasoline

[@robertchristensen7950]

I believe the viscosity of diesel and gasoline are too different for a diesel engine to properly meter the fuel, so you were most likely "flooding" the engine. I think it would be better to have the engine idle on diesel, and feed gasoline slowly through the intake for the throttle.

[@sabbath7081]

There is no lubricity in gasoline, also 100 octane won't explode very well or if at all under compression after atomized. You end up destroying the fuel pump because it has no lubrication and you ruined the cylinder walls because they're getting washed.

[@robertwest3093]

Look at the length of those intake runners! You see these diesel engines “runaway” from oil leaking into the engine so this was an interesting test!

[@Shannon-Smith]

We run vehicles on waste motor oil all the time. You just have to filter it well. Also, transmission fluid is much much better than diesel (so is wmo) The real intersting stuff happens when you cut it. 10% of x, 20% of y ect.

[@MrLarsgren]

you would still need lubrication. try a 20% gasoline mix. or you could go with a 10-15% ethanol mix. ethanol mix will make the diesel look like cartoon radioactive waste.

[@sandert8901]

or you can add some 2 stroke oil or regular motor oil to gasoline, might run much better then

[@a64738]

To run a diesel on kerosene or petrol you add 1/200 of 2 stroke oil, I did run a Mazda 626 Diesel for 2 years on kerosene using that mix. If you do not add oil it will ruin the diesel fuel pump and that is very expensive to fix as the fuel pump on a diesel is very special and run extremely high pressures injecting fuel at precisely times moments. y .

[@aliasgharofmandvi7103]

You could try adding 2 stroke lubrication oil into the petrol and then running the diesel engine on that mix

[@Leonardo.220]

You should try the fuel mix for 2t engines (maybe with more oil than usual mix, for better engine operation)

[@matthawkins4281]

Retest the gasoline and add two stroke oil
