As a teenager the smartest man I knew was named Dan. After reading the story, you will agree that I should have gotten out more. He mixed a five gallon gas can with diesel and two stroke oil for the chainsaws. He realized his mistake as soon as he started the saw, making me think he may have done that before. Obviously he wasn't proud of what he had done, so he didn't immediately run around telling us about the oil/diesel mix filling a gas can. Two days later, I needed some gas for the 8N ford. Let's be honest, who here doesn't know what's about to go into the gas tank of the 8N Ford? Blue and green smoke formed behind the tractor. Surprisingly, it did burn in the old flat head. After making me drain the tank, which is the only repair I made to the problem, He did admit to his error as well. A tank or so later the tractor ran fine. I am still somewhat amazed that the 2 stroke oil and diesel mix did burn in the engine. Have I ever mentioned that Dan was the smartest man I even knew?
