A couple of gallons wont hurt anything.Just put whatever you are going to use in.There is one thing you dont want to do right after you start mixing the gas and diesel,the fumes are highly explosive.Dont strike a match and see how much gas/diesel is in the bottom or it could explode.Theres a old man running around this town where I live thats got lots of scars on his face and not a lot of hair on one side of his head and part of his ear gone from doing that.Theres another one in the next town 13 miles away that did the same thing and it nearly killed him and burnt his hair all off,just not as bad as the other guy.Dont know how many times they did that and nothing happened,but that one time sure was bad.Its a lot like jet fuel they say gas/diesel mix.Dont know the ratio,but I knew a Marine that fueled Harrier jets and he said they had a ground strap hooked to them so that static electricity wouldnt ignite it. Not trying to scare anybody,but it is a remote chance of something happening,you may want to remember.I think its right at first when they mix is when its most dangerous. Striking a match to see inside of a fuel tank is not a real smart thing to do anyway,but who knows what somebody will do.Ive caught myself almost doing it fueling up my truck,with a bic lighter,at night,it was almost like telling youself it was the thing to do until you get the lighter in your hand and think wait a minute,better not do that.Diesel fumes probably wont do anything,gas either,but I dont want to find out when they explode.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
