[AT] Gas problem now diesel

[charlie hill]

I've heard of doing that Ralph.   In fact, many years ago I had a friend
who sold tractor trailer trucks for a living.  I went with him once to
demonstrate a truck in a very rural area.  We were low on fuel and didn't 
have
enough to get back to where there was a truck stop or another source of 
fuel.
All we could find was a country store that had kerosene.  Mike knew what to 
do.
He had been told by his boss.  I forget the exact mix but for every so many 
gallons
of kerosene he added a quart of motor oil.  I want to say it was a quart of 
oil to 10
gallons of fuel.  The truck ran fine and if it damaged the engine I never 
heard about it.

No problems with my old diesels yet but just in case, lately I have been
dumping some oil in the tank when I fill up with fuel. No measure, just
by guess and golly. It has certainly helped use up most of the odd left
over containers of oil. I've used two stroke oil, type A transmission,
motor oil, pretty much any clean oil I have on hand. Time will tell if
it works I guess.
