I think you may run into detonation,pinging and may destroy the engine.When i was a cheapo kid i fueled my olds omega with some gas that was missfueled with a bit of diesal in it and it toasted the engine (severe knock after 200 miles)But now that i think about it i was most likely dumber than i thought and was not shure exactly how much was mixed.I bet you would have to retard the timing a bit so it doesnt detonate therfore you would loose power right?The added diesel will lower the octane of the gasoline.I personally wouldent do it i want higher octane like 100 or so that would burn nice in my A model IH.Ohh well just my 2 cents,im glad the omega blew up anyway.
