After driving over 5,000 miles on a trip from New York to Kalispell Montana with no problems except for a burned out break light bulb, I stopped in New Jersey for fuel just across the PA border, only about 70 miles from home. I told the guy to fill it with diesel, and it's a good thing I got out of the car and looked over at him. In NJ, it is illegal to pump your own fuel, so there he was with the gas hose in my tank pumping away. Luckily he only got 1.2 gallons in there when I saw him. I yelled diesel, diesel, and he pulled it out. Then it took almost 12 gallons of diesel. When I got home, I topped it off again. Everything seemed OK on the trip home, and I hope that is the end of it.
I keep thinking: What if I went into the store to get coffee or something, and he was all done filling it with gas by the time I came out? I wouldn't have known what was happening after I drove a few miles and the engine started making weird noises and quit.
How bad is a 10% gas mix for these engines?
