Well, I out-did myself today. Filled the diesel fuel tank on the New Holland 8360 tractor with gasoline. I've filled that stupid tractor up a couple dozen times since I've known it. Good thing is, the tank has a leak around the sending unit/line opening so we only fill it about 5/8 full...but about all of the 5/8 ended up being gas. : ( It was idling as it was filling, so I did get some gas into the engine. I noticed it was idling slower than usual and suddenly I realized what I had done and shut the engine down as quick as I could. I siphoned as much gas out of the tank as I could, added some Howe's lubricant additive, and about a quart of fresh motor oil 'cause I figured the gas left in the tank wouldn't have the lubricity. I took the fuel filters off and filled them with diesel, too. Cranked the engine over and it started and sputtered for a little while and now it runs fine. Don't think I did any damage to the tractor...I sure feel dumb though. I'd sure like to hear some similar stories...

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
