+Chris B you can notice the difference in the smell from picking it up and setting down, you can also notice the way diesel foams when you pour it into a tank. Gas doesn't foam as much
Had to pause at 2:33 to write this, never write anything on the gas cans, people might not see it...obviously. RED=GASOLINE YELLOW=DIESEL BLUE=KEROSENE They are color coded for a reason and that's why your red can says gasoline only.
That's ok, my GF put 19 gallons of diesel in my 1999 Dodge Ram 1500. So when I finally found out what happened, the story came about that her mom thought she would be nice and fill it up. Then they drove it around and called saying it ran like crap. She calls her mom and asks what you put in it, and she says "Its a Dodge I put Diesel in it Duh!!!". She's no longer my GF, and she actually had the nerve to ask if she could borrow the truck again the next day I said oh hell no.
RAI DEN You are a moron please exit now. You don't even know me. You were probably her dad then. If you don't realize how stupid of a mistake you can make putting diesel in a gas vehicle...the nozzle doesn't even fit so I can only imagine how long it took them to fill it up.
RAI DEN That's not even the worst part of it, you are taking stuff out of context that you have absolutely no clue about. Until you actually know the reasoning and know us you have absolutely no reason to be coming up and trying to tell someone what they should be doing.
+William Todd (williamtodd) Dude its not even a big deal...I had a moron put diesel in my Audi...had it back running in a couple hours, and most of that was pumping out the tank with a hand pump.

Had an old man put anti freeze in the diesel tank of a John Deere tractor some years back, No smoke, no run, 6 hours to get the system cleaned out and start the tractor.
I was operating a backhoe when I was stationed in Afghanistan, someone put diesel in the hydraulic tank and hydraulic fluid in the diesel tank after servicing it. Needless to say, I got halfway to the work site and had to have it hauled back. I was not amused. I made the mistake with my '76 454 Suburban of not paying attention at the gas station and grabbed the green nozzle. I got about 12 gallons when I realized my mistake. I filled it the rest of the way with premium. I ran 3 full tanks of premium before I got all of the diesel burned out. Boy, was my baby a Smokey Joe.
I don't know why but to me that was weirdly satisfying to see it go from smoking to running fine again. I still can't figure out why this was recommended for me to watch. Oh well it's good to learn how to fix this if it ever happened to me. It's fine.
I had a similar experience. when I was in my teens I would do yard work to earn a few extra bucks. one couple that I mowed their lawn on a regular basis, had their regular mower in the shop. and the wife remembered that they had an extra one in a shed. and told me I would just have to put some gas in the tank and everything would be good. whelp, I filled the tank and started the mower up and proceeded to mow the lawn and the engine started sounding really rough and grindy. and then all of a sudden there was a loud bang! and the engine came to a grinding halt. and while I was looking it over, I immediately noticed a fairly large hole in the side of engine block, and the end of the piston rod sticking out. what she had failed to tell me, was that the engine ran on two cycle fuel.
@@abdulbarshams9564 he is talking about two-stroke engines that have to use a mixture of fuel and a special oil in the gas tank. If you do not mix the oil in the gas the engine will seize because two-stroke engines do not contain crankcase oil and receive lubrication from the oil that you mix into the gas.
Years of gas with oil being put through that mowers fuel system would’ve wild enough residue free to run it two days on straight gas without a issue why do people make up these lies.

RUclips comment sections are not designed very well so if you reply to someone else s reply it gets put under the original comment making it confusing. This guy disappeared so all that's left is my reply to his rudeness.
I'm surprised that the jets and needles don't get gummed up from all that oil? Might want to pray to the gumout and seafoam gods for the next few tanks.
Zero harm to a gas engine? Say that to my uncle, his imbecile son managed to fill said uncle's near-empty motorcycle tank with diesel, get far out, fast enough with the gas\petrol in the lines so that the diesel would get into the combustion chamber, hydrolocking the engine and pretty much pushing a piston through the block, causing a lowside crash and a very deserved SCRAPE AND BURN TO THE ASS MEAT. Yes, it was a very, very nice motorcycle.
actually diesel is the main ingredient in fuel treatment such as Lucas oil, however exceeding an amount of 8 ounces can potentially cause engine harm..
+justynanderson70 to make a long story short, a guy didnt read and put diesel gas in my petrol powered tractor, i didnt get mad, but i did sure did fix it in 98 degree weather.
Bryan Perkins to make a long story short you put diesel in a gasoline can then labeled it diesel only as small as the marker you used could write, then complained when someone put what they thought was gasoline in a gasoline can into your mower. you have a yellow diesel can RIGHT THERE in the shed why was the diesel in the gas can? Or was all your gasoline in the diesel can?
Back in the late 1970's my brother borrowed my car one weekend and put 5 gallons of fuel in my car. He too assumed it was regular gasolines but it turned out to be DIESEL FUEL. So he dumps 5 gallons of it in my tank, which still had an equivalent amount of regular unleaded gas in it, which roughly made it a 50/50 mix. It seemed to run okay but my car, a 1971 Chevy Impala 350-V8, didn't seem to have the power it did before. I topped it off with regular gasoline and it seemed to be fine after this.
He took the recoil starter off to use his drill starter so that he wouldn't break the recoil pulling on it a bunch of times since it's hard to start at first
His neighbors are looking out there window's at the smoke billowing out of his garage, and thinking "Jesus Christ! What the hell have those jack asses done this time?"
Road diesel in colder climates often contains up to 50% kerosene by volume to prevent gel formation at low temperatures. So yes, diesel engines are not offended by Kerosene much at all.
Eh, its more harmful than you think. The plugs get fouled up with oil and carbon, leading to hard starting and poor fuel economy. Plus you end up with unburnt fuel dilluting the lube oil, shortening engine life. And if that wasn't bad enough, the excess carbon forms lumps in the chamber. Later on these carbon deposits cause preignition and detonation, damaging the engine further despite it being back on the normal fuel.
Never said it would make the engine fail. But it will make the engine perform poorly if it isn't serviced afterward to clean up the mess that has been made. Without being serviced afterward, a later situation requiring good performance could cause engine damage because of the effects of all that carbon fouling- assuming it hasn't already been burned out by the lean-burn properties of ethanol blended gasoline.
Watch the video by Top gear. Where they do both. Gas in diesel and diesel in gas car.. Interesting results actually. No putting in Nitromethane will likely ruin a diesel for sure. I've ran in in lawnmowers okay diluted with gas. ALWAYS wanted to see it put into a diesel. Diesel has 40 octane. NM has a lot more! You can but it at a hobby shop that sells RC Planes and Cars or on Amazon. Use a small amount only!
UZI9MMAUTO yeah but for cars you will wear out the rings and the pump. I used to be a storeperson in a mechanic shop. Had 2 brand new land cruisers come in dead because the wife and daughter filled them with petrol instead of diesel. They had to do a full rebuild of both engines and fuel pumps.
UZI9MMAUTO Ummmm, Diesel is not "40 octane" it is 40 CETANE. Distinctly different concept. Cetane rating indicates autoignition characteristic and octane rating indicates anti-knock characteristic.
now you smoked out your garage and all the pest is dead! so it is time to smoke out the garden! BTW you might have diesel in your oil so you should have had an oil change to! or you might get some serious engine problems. why? as you could see the diesel came out of the muffler so the combustion chamber was flooded with diesel... and a bunch of it went by the piston rings because they do not seal as much as an diesel engine. your oil is now mixed with diesel and that will make the oil film protecting it break because the oil is not holding up against the friction anymore. Ok the engine will be clean mow since the diesel cleaned out all carbon deposits in it but the metal is wearing out on the friction surfaces now... since the video is over 7 years old it might be dead by now (I guess it too like 3-4 months depending on the hours you put on it week by week). At least you know why it broke down now (if you did not change the oil)
your employee cannot read. and in his defense as an employer you should have the correct color fuel container. diesel cans are yellow. just so you know
You can see that where it was marked "diesel" was very dirty before it got wiped off, so they may be able to read but just did not see the marking through the filth. You can buy a different colored container, or you can just get some colored duct tape from the Autozone and wrap a stripe around the container..
Unleaded = Red Premium = Silver Diesel = Yellow 25:1 = Dark Green 30:1 = Medium Green 50:1 = Pale Green Believe me, six small cans doesn't cost much, but I can easily grab exactly which can I'm after by colour alone and never have mixups. Handy when mowing lawns and using other small engines when you're a greenkeeper/handyman.
Liam Patterson oh. I have a two stroke 3 wheeler and 2 two stroke sleds, plus various garden tools and usually as long as they are running good there is not much build up on there. And when they are running good the build up is dry.
I had the same thing happen to me at work but it was a weed eater and blower.My supervisor, she poured diesel gas in a red container but the gas came from our Stache of gas cans back at the shop and I had no idea she took the gas from the yellow can and so I'm just pouring diesel in our blower and weed eater the whole day and I go to try to start them and I'm think like Damn, that's alot of smoke coming out the exhaust what the hell is going on.Then sure enough I bring the suit back to one of guys at the shop, he says you got diesel in your shit.I caught so much crap/ridicule from the guys.Lessoned Learned now.Ive been cutting grass for months for my job and I never thing to check for the small things like that cause it's a normal routine we do every day so now I'm the dumb ass of the year.My supervisor says that wouldn't of happened if the gas cans were labeled from the start but I didn't have my back turned and watched her get gas I'd of said something.
Also my supervisor is the one I ride around town with.Not my boss.Shes just 4th in charge in our division.Still not sure how she got the position at work.
I helped a friends put new heads on a v8 chey truck and it had ran for so long with worn out valve seals with oil leaking into the cylinder that after we fixed the problem the truck smoked for a few days from all the oil in the exhaust pipe/muffler. He was worried the heads didn't fix the problem but it got better and better until it stopped smoking completely. There must have been lots and lots of oil in the muffler alone. You video reminded me of that. Thank s for sharing your video. ::SUBBED::
Les Brown i know recently in australia the mandate and requirement to dye different fuels for different octane rating was removed it was mostly inplace to keep fuel distributors honest if you saw the wrong color for your chosen fuel alarm bells should ring

Codslayer Hello Yess I thought the same thing
This guy is gonna be a pro level old man when he’s older.
number 1 u should've known by the smoke and smell of the fuel not to run the engine any more until it was all flushed out of the system
diesel mixed with fuel won't cause any harm no worse than running 2 stroke in a 4 cycle.
Eh, its more harmful than you think. The plugs get fouled up with oil and carbon, leading to hard starting and poor fuel economy.
Plus you end up with unburnt fuel dilluting the lube oil, shortening engine life.
And if that wasn't bad enough, the excess carbon forms lumps in the chamber. Later on these carbon deposits cause preignition and detonation, damaging the engine further despite it being back on the normal fuel.

u should not be standing in that smoke inhaling all that gas, sure, we all like the smell but it's not really healthy :p
If you look very carefully, you can see that the garage is wide open.
Mercer Byrd Still it would be better to do it outside the garage.
But what if it gives him the rainbow? 😂😂😂 unfortunately I write my own jokes
Cedrique Rabaut inhalation of exhaust fumes not gasoline ;)
Nah it's fine. Fumes dont matter lmao. I'm fine
Next time write a bigger more clearer sign or use a different color gas tank
Juan Fuerte or not have whoever put it in be a dumbfuck
your employee cannot read. and in his defense as an employer you should have the correct color fuel container. diesel cans are yellow. just so you know
You can see that where it was marked "diesel" was very dirty before it got wiped off, so they may be able to read but just did not see the marking through the filth. You can buy a different colored container, or you can just get some colored duct tape from the Autozone and wrap a stripe around the container..
7:27 messes with controls and then "aw shoot"
Unleaded = Red
Premium = Silver
Diesel = Yellow
25:1 = Dark Green
30:1 = Medium Green
50:1 = Pale Green
Believe me, six small cans doesn't cost much, but I can easily grab exactly which can I'm after by colour alone and never have mixups. Handy when mowing lawns and using other small engines when you're a greenkeeper/handyman.
Aren't kerosene, diesel, and gasoline fuel cans different colors to prevent this sort of thing?
Yea they are
My snowblower gas engine is better.... One day I accidentally put diesel and it just smoked XD
Funny enough. I actually enjoyed this... dude has a great sense of humor... kinda just goes with it he's cool
We get it u vape
Stop
Stop
Yea stop
2 stroke has also leaves a gummy oil on a spark plug two
Not if you are using a quality oil mixed at the correct ratio, and have the correct spark plug. The plug should stay dry.
ish
Liam Patterson yea if your plug is fouled.
Steven Vanheel two stroke dirtbike got the motor rebuilt still leaves it on there I have two 2 strokes and they both do it
Liam Patterson oh. I have a two stroke 3 wheeler and 2 two stroke sleds, plus various garden tools and usually as long as they are running good there is not much build up on there. And when they are running good the build up is dry.
We get it, You Vape...
I had the same thing happen to me at work but it was a weed eater and blower.My supervisor, she poured diesel gas in a red container but the gas came from our Stache of gas cans back at the shop and I had no idea she took the gas from the yellow can and so I'm just pouring diesel in our blower and weed eater the whole day and I go to try to start them and I'm think like Damn, that's alot of smoke coming out the exhaust what the hell is going on.Then sure enough I bring the suit back to one of guys at the shop, he says you got diesel in your shit.I caught so much crap/ridicule from the guys.Lessoned Learned now.Ive been cutting grass for months for my job and I never thing to check for the small things like that cause it's a normal routine we do every day so now I'm the dumb ass of the year.My supervisor says that wouldn't of happened if the gas cans were labeled from the start but I didn't have my back turned and watched her get gas I'd of said something.
Also my supervisor is the one I ride around town with.Not my boss.Shes just 4th in charge in our division.Still not sure how she got the position at work.
Not sure how you got yours either fish face...
I helped a friends put new heads on a v8 chey truck and it had ran for so long with worn out valve seals with oil leaking into the cylinder that after we fixed the problem the truck smoked for a few days from all the oil in the exhaust pipe/muffler. He was worried the heads didn't fix the problem but it got better and better until it stopped smoking completely.
There must have been lots and lots of oil in the muffler alone.
You video reminded me of that. Thank s for sharing your video.
::SUBBED::
you look like asap rocky if he was white
you should leave spark plugs out roll it over till it spits gas the leave for 15 minutes and put plugs back in and start as good as new
That's pure clear diesel would not be that color no matter how much you mix it
diesel is like slightly green isn't it? I'm no diesel mechanic but I'm sure it is
all fuel is clear petrol is just died to help you identify it's grade
That is not true. When distilled from crude oil diesel has a very light blue shine. Heavy gasoil has a light green shine to it.
Les Brown i know recently in australia the mandate and requirement to dye different fuels for different octane rating was removed it was mostly inplace to keep fuel distributors honest if you saw the wrong color for your chosen fuel alarm bells should ring
he goes at this like it's an episode of law an order
u must be a mechanic on engines.
Jeffrey Yatkowski "a mechanic on engines" Good job lmao.
What kind of comment is that Eric
Jeffrey Yatkowski I'm not to sure, What do you think a mechanic is?
Someone who works on and fixes machinery and cars
I know this is a really old video, but GET TO THE POINT ALREADY. fucking hell
lol this was randomly in my recommended
Run a gasoline lawn mower like a 2 stroke.
No oil in oil tank, but 60-1 oil to gas ratio
