Modern diesels have antiknock sensors, so most of the damage from this will be around the fuel injection mechanism: pump, injectors, these get damaged pretty quick without the lubrication diesel provides. Gas is a very powerful solvent so you injectors will start leaking pretty quick from metal-on-metal wear.
@@peek5548 exactly why it will eventually destroy a diesel engine. Gasoline is highly flamable and the heat from the compression causes violent explosions and shock to the pistons, rings and connecting rods !
That is a mechanical diesel no knock sensor. A knock sensor can not control the violent explosions of gasoline in a diesel engine! The engine will be severely damaged and eventually destroyed! Do not do this unless you want too buy a new engine! Diesel has a very high ignition point ,gasoline has a low ignition point and violently explodes on contact with the highly compressed air and high temperatures in a diesel engine causing damage to piston ,rings and rods!

I recommend automatic transmission fluid to restore the viscosity of the fuel, so the pump can develop enough pressure to overcome the pop pressure of the injector nozzles. If there's room, adding some diesel fuel will help lower the ignition temperature of the gasoline enough, to auto ignite by the compression of the engine. I recommend running out that fuel, as low as you dare, then, fill up with diesel fuel. That will hopefully protect the injection pump, and the engine will run perfectly normal. You will find, that the engine will run exceptionally clean, have a lot of power, but the fuel consumption will be higher, because the BTU content of gasoline is lower than diesel fuel.
@@vincentrobinette1507 could be wrong, trying to maybe learn. How could diesel lower the ignition temp? Isnt diesel ignited by high heat? (Via high compression, why no ignition needed)
@@johnpowers1275 Diesel has Cetane. It has an autoignition temperature of~360°F. Gasoline has Octane, which has a much higher autoignition temperature, closer to~490°F, or even higher. Premium gasoline can be above 650°F. The compression in a diesel engine may not be high enough, to touch off gasoline, which is formulated to resist pre-ignition due to compression, or hot spots in the combustion chamber. A small amount of diesel, just to touch off the gasoline should allow it to run, and allow combustion using glow plugs in a cold engine. The transmission fluid is only to increase viscosity, to prevent blow-back in the plungers in the injection pump, and, to lubricate the pump to avoid damage.
Lmao 🤣 I have never seen a diesel beat so hard and continue to run! ... Kinda reminds of the inline 300 6 cylinder that's next to impossible to blow up! 👍

Only time ive seen a diesel react to gas was in logging woods. Crew was trying to start a loader. Didnt have starting fluid so they was gas soaking a rag and putting it over the breather. The gas soaked the filter and when that thing did crank it ran away had to shove a t shirt into the breather pipe to choke it down bc it woukdnt shut off and was several rpm over red line. Needless to say boss man had a engine to rebuild bc it was knocking like hell.
If you had to rebuild it you must have been a hair slow smothering the thing. I had a V-8 Detroit in a '73 Freightliner and it had a shut-off right beside the seat you could pull if it started to run away. Never had it happen, but it did start and run backwards twice. That's why you had to have caps on the exhaust pipes.
So, I run mine on oil. If you mix the oil about 30%, it is pretty easy to run in the winter. In the summer, you can run it at 100% oil, but if its lower than 60* outside, it doesnt want to start.
We have had idiots put unleaded in our diesel ambulances. Always a fun phone call. I want to add 'efficiency in operating a vehicle with manual transmission and clutch' to my resume. I feel that is more unique than anything else these days.
Starting on gasoline was always going to be tough since it has a poor cetane rating. Gasoline is refined for a high octane rating, or resistance to destination, which is the opposite of what you want in a diesel. I ran the 4bt Cummins in my truck on 50/50 gas/oil once to get me 5 miles down the road in a pinch. It ran great with plenty of lube for the injection system. Motor oil has a good cetane rating, so starting wasn't an issue either. If he would have added like 10-15% oil, it probably would have started on the mostly gas mix.
@@ronniejohnson317 The IH tractors that I'm aware of that operated like that had spark plugs so it ran just like a gas engine when cold, so the gas never relied on self detonation to start combustion.
As long as it’s old style MECHANICAL injection you will be ok… i used to have an 89 f250 that literally ran on anything it loved used engine oil and new fry oil.. never ran used fry oil because the water content in it would kill the expensive injection pump..
you are an animal!!! welldone keep it up,and your escapade surfing your bus in the middle of a dry lakebed notorious for things sinking ten foot and getting run over by it,well you couldnt make it up realy. Heavy D must've employed you for entertainment value and you need a payrise cos its priceless! keep it up from Nick in England.
Here's a little hack for you, in a 2015 International semi if you're capped at 65 mph, wait til you're going 65, have your foot all the way down on the gas pedal, completely let off, and slam it all the way back down again repeatedly (at least 5-7 times) your mph gauge should drop to 0 and slowly climb back up. During this time you can get up to 70-75 mph. As soon as it catches back up it'll slow you back down to 65. It's a great trick if you need to get past someone quicker, or a car is just chilling beside you.
I accidently filled my diesel truck with gas one time and drove it 20 miles before it started sputtering. I realized what I did because my other truck I drive daily is gas so I thot wth I will just drive it on home 20 more miles. It sputtered occasionally and I drained the tank and refilled with diesel and it has ran fine ever since. I was told which I am not sure I believe that it actually cleans the motor up. It was mixed because the tank was about 1/4 full btw.
Could recognize the area from the first scene. Made me laugh this is why everyone is busting us for emissions these last few years. Good video, very entertaining.
injection system needs lube lol. it usually gets it from diesel. if you put about a quart of atf in about 5 gallons of gas youll get your lubricity you need
Unless you go to a BP. They stick with their European ways and gas is green diesel is black, I've know people to not pay attention and end up with a repair bill because of that
How about doing an ammonia conversion on a gas or diesel truck? Reading about it , it's like a propane conversion. Ammonia is used in jet and rocket fuel. And land speed record was achieved in a straight ammonia rocket car. Ammonia is cheap and more stable , safer as a green fuel than hydrogen, and viable unlike electric cars.
Ammonia is neat, although as any farmer who applied Anhydrous (or just anyone with a bottle of Aqueous in their Laundry Room) knows, that shit can mess you up! If done safely it’s okay though. Look into Dimethyl Ether (DME) though! It *physically cannot make soot*, and has a higher Cetane value than diesel! Volvo and some others made some big rigs that ran off of it. It had some issues with Seals if i remember correctly but if they can make rotary and methanol race cars work, i bet with enough dev work one could get it working reliably. Stores like propane too, unlike CNG.
A direct injection compression ignition engine can theoretically burn anything combustible as long as its warmed up enough or has enough compression. Btu per gallon difference will determine max power without turning the screw. But lack of lubrication will quickly destroy the fuel pump. 2 stroke oil and low octane gas should be perfectly fine in a mechanical diesel. A computer controlled may have issues do to amount of fuel injected vs expected engine output.
@@RJ1999x ok. Well even most indirect injection would be very similar as far as burning about anything combustible. But precup design would probably make less efficient burn for other fuel types due to burn speed.
You have to legit try to destory those old idi Ford diesels! They were gutless as sin and cold blooded as hell but man what a bullet proof engine and transmission! The synchros in that old trans were known for going out after a few hundred thousand miles but if you know how to double clutch worth a damn they'd keep going forever too. My buddy's grandpa had one he bought new in 1983 that he ran for almost 500k miles on more or less OEM equipment before giving to my buddy as his first rig. Granted his grandpa was the king of maintenance. Then it survived my buddy's teenage driving years as well as college. To this day it still lives on as a snow plow/sanding truck and his big homemade dumpster/garbage trailer he hauls to the dump about once a month. To my knowledge all that my buddy has ever done to it mechanically is brakes, the clutch, a couple glow plugs, a starter, a water pump, an alternator and rebuilt the front hubs. It won't cold start if it's much under 40 degrees without a shot if starting fluid but that's almost normal for those old idi's. It won't stay in fifth gear anymore but it rarely sees speeds needing fifth gear. If it does need fifth he holds it in gear with a bungee cord and a couple eyelets he screwed into the dash. When it's cold it smokes like crazy but hey, with God only knows how many miles what can you expect. Once it warms up it runs pretty clean unless you hammer on it. The speedometer and odometer quit working a long time ago but the tach still works, most of the time. When it quits working a good snack on the dash always brings it back. My buddy had surgery a couple years ago and was pretty much off his feet for a couple months. I was one of three who would go out, plow and sand his property during the winter. One of the other guys just used his own plow and refused to drive ol' Rusty. I was the only one he trusted to take the truck off of his property to haul his dumpster. I gotta say, that old truck is quite a handful to operate but it's a lot of fun. Its name is Rusty and for good reason. He's been talking about retiring Rusty for years but just can't bring himself to do it. Its use is so limited he just can't justify it as Rusty never lets him down. It's a true beater with a (killer) heater. The end lol.
I had an 86 6.9l , had over 500k on it, the only reason i replaced it was because the truck was falling apart around the engine? i replaced it with a 7.3l and now have over 450k on that truck! Those old series engines will take abuse and keep running!
Kind of makes one wonder why Ford went to International to get an engine instead of keeping the old engine. Seems like that old diesel performed very well under harsh conditions.
@@jamessimmons4770 I think you are correct, I heard in 1984 that the 6.9 was a Ford engine. I drove a Ford with the 6.9 and other than being noisy, wasn't impressed. The 7.3 is diffantly an International engine. I could be wrong and both were International. One thing I don't like about the Ford power stroke is it uses high oil pressure to operate the fuel injectors. If you don't keep the oil changed it can stop the engine, seen that a few times
@@seamac7564 It's weird seeing the north higher prices than So-Cal. And all because of a little storm over a week ago. You can thank whoever owns the refinery in benicia for deciding not to reopen the damn thing.
@@ripperlipper1016 yes you can. We had a raptor that got diesel put in it , drain the tank and whatever bit of diesel yoj can . Let it sit for a day or so fill with gas after changing the filter and should be good
@@joshredden3510 I’ll probably just drain all the fuel then clean the tank and change the oil and all the filters and then do some other things like a new battery
@@mikerose4250 I’m not a dumbass ik just slapping a new battery isn’t just gonna fix it but all I have to do is drain the tank clean it if it needs to be and put new filters on it and change the oil now that I’m thinking probably gonna need a new alternator and spark plugs
Probably 1/2 the reason it ran so good on straight gas is b/c its an idi. Unlike a normal direct injected engine where the combustion takes place in the cylinder on top of the piston. Where pre detination can occur kinda like a normal gas engine. In the idi, all the combustion happens in the pre cup then a kinda flame thrower goes through the hole into the cylinder pushing the piston down with the expanding games. So it was safer to do so since it never would pre detonate on valuable moving parts. And it also helped that he used 93 octane instead of 87. I kinda want to see him do it again but with 87 octane. I also want to know how much nitrous he was injecting, it would help in my case to get on the interstate faster with my 6.9idi😅

Same. That's the exact pickup I was looking for before I found my 6bt.
Please don't kill her. Q~Q
I’ll keep the body mint. But I don’t care about the engine/drivetrain, I’ve got all new better stuff to swap in
@@HunterGoodrich Oooo! Fummins? Or maybe a 6.4? Can't wait to see it! :3
@@HunterGoodrich I would be putting a built 7.3 powerstroke in it. I got a 95 super cab with a mild 7.3 and it's beast
To think I was worried about getting my car inspected with a small crack in the windshield and people got this driving around lol
I love that it's got a stack from an emissions era engine
I wish I could double like this video bro, absolute shenanigans. Thank you
Just ran across your channel and subscribed LOVE IT! .... you make some really cool videos! .. keep em coming!
Only time ive seen a diesel react to gas was in logging woods. Crew was trying to start a loader. Didnt have starting fluid so they was gas soaking a rag and putting it over the breather. The gas soaked the filter and when that thing did crank it ran away had to shove a t shirt into the breather pipe to choke it down bc it woukdnt shut off and was several rpm over red line. Needless to say boss man had a engine to rebuild bc it was knocking like hell.
If you had to rebuild it you must have been a hair slow smothering the thing. I had a V-8 Detroit in a '73 Freightliner and it had a shut-off right beside the seat you could pull if it started to run away. Never had it happen, but it did start and run backwards twice. That's why you had to have caps on the exhaust pipes.
So, I run mine on oil. If you mix the oil about 30%, it is pretty easy to run in the winter. In the summer, you can run it at 100% oil, but if its lower than 60* outside, it doesnt want to start.
From one Goodrich to another keep up the good work
We have had idiots put unleaded in our diesel ambulances. Always a fun phone call.
I want to add 'efficiency in operating a vehicle with manual transmission and clutch' to my resume. I feel that is more unique than anything else these days.
We should take another look at turbines, they will literally run on anything although biodiesels never caught on like I thought they would
That spray on the 5th gear lug about blew that intake out😂😂
You are crazy lol, good job hunter, great video…
very cool , you are a good mechanic
Starting on gasoline was always going to be tough since it has a poor cetane rating. Gasoline is refined for a high octane rating, or resistance to destination, which is the opposite of what you want in a diesel. I ran the 4bt Cummins in my truck on 50/50 gas/oil once to get me 5 miles down the road in a pinch. It ran great with plenty of lube for the injection system. Motor oil has a good cetane rating, so starting wasn't an issue either. If he would have added like 10-15% oil, it probably would have started on the mostly gas mix.
I’m
@@StrawberryKiwiRacing very insightful
I hope I never put any fuel in my cars that's resistant to destination. I won't get anywhere.
@@ronniejohnson317 The IH tractors that I'm aware of that operated like that had spark plugs so it ran just like a gas engine when cold, so the gas never relied on self detonation to start combustion.
@@marklucas3140 laughing my Azz off 🤣 I think he meant *Detonation 😂
I loved seeing this , I greatly appreciate it, I'm going out to build me a Cummins diesel now , now knowing it can 👌 handle almost anything 😎😁😁😁👍
As long as it’s old style MECHANICAL injection you will be ok… i used to have an 89 f250 that literally ran on anything it loved used engine oil and new fry oil.. never ran used fry oil because the water content in it would kill the expensive injection pump..

Heavy D must've employed you for entertainment value and you need a payrise cos its priceless! keep it up from Nick in England.
Thanks man! I’m a good work hard/play hard package deal for Dave🤙🏼
Here's a little hack for you, in a 2015 International semi if you're capped at 65 mph, wait til you're going 65, have your foot all the way down on the gas pedal, completely let off, and slam it all the way back down again repeatedly (at least 5-7 times) your mph gauge should drop to 0 and slowly climb back up. During this time you can get up to 70-75 mph. As soon as it catches back up it'll slow you back down to 65. It's a great trick if you need to get past someone quicker, or a car is just chilling beside you.
Super clean nitrous install!
I’m glad I gave you ad money for this video. Well done sir 🙏
I accidently filled my diesel truck with gas one time and drove it 20 miles before it started sputtering. I realized what I did because my other truck I drive daily is gas so I thot wth I will just drive it on home 20 more miles. It sputtered occasionally and I drained the tank and refilled with diesel and it has ran fine ever since. I was told which I am not sure I believe that it actually cleans the motor up. It was mixed because the tank was about 1/4 full btw.
Could recognize the area from the first scene. Made me laugh this is why everyone is busting us for emissions these last few years. Good video, very entertaining.
Same!
Wyoming, montana, Or South Dakota??
I was thinking Utah...
@@jamesgizasson you got it. North salt lake area
What's up cousin?
I enjoyed the hell out of this video .... good stuff ...
This makes me smile.
injection system needs lube lol. it usually gets it from diesel. if you put about a quart of atf in about 5 gallons of gas youll get your lubricity you need
Interesting to see in USA your diesel is green hose and petrol is black. It's the opposite here in the UK.
Dang that is interesting! Did not know that
I was going to comment the same thing 😂
Unless you go to a BP. They stick with their European ways and gas is green diesel is black, I've know people to not pay attention and end up with a repair bill because of that
Yeeeeeeah buddy. Rollin like a big shot
Had a 1693/425 once that blew flames out the stacks...

How about doing an ammonia conversion on a gas or diesel truck?
Reading about it , it's like a propane conversion. Ammonia is used in jet and rocket fuel. And land speed record was achieved in a straight ammonia rocket car. Ammonia is cheap and more stable , safer as a green fuel than hydrogen, and viable unlike electric cars.
Ammonia is neat, although as any farmer who applied Anhydrous (or just anyone with a bottle of Aqueous in their Laundry Room) knows, that shit can mess you up! If done safely it’s okay though.
Look into Dimethyl Ether (DME) though! It *physically cannot make soot*, and has a higher Cetane value than diesel!
Volvo and some others made some big rigs that ran off of it. It had some issues with Seals if i remember correctly but if they can make rotary and methanol race cars work, i bet with enough dev work one could get it working reliably. Stores like propane too, unlike CNG.
A direct injection compression ignition engine can theoretically burn anything combustible as long as its warmed up enough or has enough compression. Btu per gallon difference will determine max power without turning the screw. But lack of lubrication will quickly destroy the fuel pump. 2 stroke oil and low octane gas should be perfectly fine in a mechanical diesel. A computer controlled may have issues do to amount of fuel injected vs expected engine output.
6.9 are not direct injection
@@RJ1999x ok. Well even most indirect injection would be very similar as far as burning about anything combustible. But precup design would probably make less efficient burn for other fuel types due to burn speed.
After the rebith i was hearing that Oingo Boingo song " Weird Science" You Eff'n rock bro
You have to legit try to destory those old idi Ford diesels! They were gutless as sin and cold blooded as hell but man what a bullet proof engine and transmission! The synchros in that old trans were known for going out after a few hundred thousand miles but if you know how to double clutch worth a damn they'd keep going forever too. My buddy's grandpa had one he bought new in 1983 that he ran for almost 500k miles on more or less OEM equipment before giving to my buddy as his first rig. Granted his grandpa was the king of maintenance. Then it survived my buddy's teenage driving years as well as college. To this day it still lives on as a snow plow/sanding truck and his big homemade dumpster/garbage trailer he hauls to the dump about once a month. To my knowledge all that my buddy has ever done to it mechanically is brakes, the clutch, a couple glow plugs, a starter, a water pump, an alternator and rebuilt the front hubs. It won't cold start if it's much under 40 degrees without a shot if starting fluid but that's almost normal for those old idi's. It won't stay in fifth gear anymore but it rarely sees speeds needing fifth gear. If it does need fifth he holds it in gear with a bungee cord and a couple eyelets he screwed into the dash. When it's cold it smokes like crazy but hey, with God only knows how many miles what can you expect. Once it warms up it runs pretty clean unless you hammer on it. The speedometer and odometer quit working a long time ago but the tach still works, most of the time. When it quits working a good snack on the dash always brings it back. My buddy had surgery a couple years ago and was pretty much off his feet for a couple months. I was one of three who would go out, plow and sand his property during the winter. One of the other guys just used his own plow and refused to drive ol' Rusty. I was the only one he trusted to take the truck off of his property to haul his dumpster. I gotta say, that old truck is quite a handful to operate but it's a lot of fun. Its name is Rusty and for good reason. He's been talking about retiring Rusty for years but just can't bring himself to do it. Its use is so limited he just can't justify it as Rusty never lets him down. It's a true beater with a (killer) heater. The end lol.
Amazing demonstration of how older V8s are so incredibly durable. Not like today; all delicate, "techy" POS.
Eh, I like the 6.9 and 7.3 idi so this fills me with sorrow
Entertainment at it's finest. Kool Beans !!!!
And that is why you fit in so well at your present job!!! Lol
When in doubt, starter fluid!
I had an 86 6.9l , had over 500k on it, the only reason i replaced it was because the truck was falling apart around the engine? i replaced it with a 7.3l and now have over 450k on that truck!
Those old series engines will take abuse and keep running!
So you have less miles on the truck after the engine swap?
@@Dilloz12 Not the same rig. He replaced the whole truck. Retired the 6.9 because the truck was rotten, then got a 7.3 truck.
Kind of makes one wonder why Ford went to International to get an engine instead of keeping the old engine. Seems like that old diesel performed very well under harsh conditions.
@@bertgrau3934 I thought the 6.9 and 7.3 were built by navistar is that right
@@jamessimmons4770
I think you are correct, I heard in 1984 that the 6.9 was a Ford engine. I drove a Ford with the 6.9 and other than being noisy, wasn't impressed. The 7.3 is diffantly an International engine. I could be wrong and both were International.
One thing I don't like about the Ford power stroke is it uses high oil pressure to operate the fuel injectors. If you don't keep the oil changed it can stop the engine, seen that a few times
Never seen your channel before. Looks like the airport road to north. I noticed the North Salt Lake gravel pits. My old stomping ground. Cool!
Interesting test. And funny how sad you've been not seeing the black smoke any more :-). Thanks for sharing. Weekend Stuff
the real question is what gas station had premium under 3.00$. let’s go brandon
This was 5 months ago
SoCal, 5.15 a gallon this morning for the high octane flavor...
$2.95 for second-rate unbranded gas. I gladly pay more for top tier
@@seamac7564 It's weird seeing the north higher prices than So-Cal. And all because of a little storm over a week ago. You can thank whoever owns the refinery in benicia for deciding not to reopen the damn thing.
@@paulndaoc Paul, it's crazy. Coming home from class, high octane was 5.19 and unleaded was 4.80, up from 3.10 in January.
I've done diesel misfuels before. Not started it's a 400.00 fix. Drain the tank, change the filter, fill with diesel.
My four wheeler got diesel put into it from my brother I wonder if I can do the same thing to it and see if it works
@@ripperlipper1016 yes you can. We had a raptor that got diesel put in it , drain the tank and whatever bit of diesel yoj can . Let it sit for a day or so fill with gas after changing the filter and should be good
@@joshredden3510 I’ll probably just drain all the fuel then clean the tank and change the oil and all the filters and then do some other things like a new battery
@@ripperlipper1016 oh ya new battery will fix her right up
@@mikerose4250 I’m not a dumbass ik just slapping a new battery isn’t just gonna fix it but all I have to do is drain the tank clean it if it needs to be and put new filters on it and change the oil now that I’m thinking probably gonna need a new alternator and spark plugs
The 80s called. They want their truck and their haircut back.
This guy is a nut! Subscribed!
Probably 1/2 the reason it ran so good on straight gas is b/c its an idi. Unlike a normal direct injected engine where the combustion takes place in the cylinder on top of the piston. Where pre detination can occur kinda like a normal gas engine. In the idi, all the combustion happens in the pre cup then a kinda flame thrower goes through the hole into the cylinder pushing the piston down with the expanding games. So it was safer to do so since it never would pre detonate on valuable moving parts. And it also helped that he used 93 octane instead of 87. I kinda want to see him do it again but with 87 octane. I also want to know how much nitrous he was injecting, it would help in my case to get on the interstate faster with my 6.9idi😅
Here's how you get an extra 500 RPM hahahah epic
