I've never had gas in the diesel before, around these parts the nozzles won't fit into the gas tanks.
They're designed to big for that. They're also a different color nozzle here.
I had about an 1/8 of a tank of gas poured in my jetta, there was about 2/3 of a tank of diesel,
The guy downstairs did it, he doesn't seem to like me calling him out on his lies and theivery, he's a scammer, which I for one, never go for.
Plain and simple, he don't like me setting him straight.
Anyways, the jetta started up fine, and away I went, I got 1/2 a block and it started making noise galore, stalled and smoked quite a bit. I steered it to the curb, let it sit a few minutes, and started it up, started smoking and the noises started again, I think I can attribute some or all (?) the gray smoke out the engine from a cracked manifold, it's not a big crack.
I turned it around and drove it home, (1/2 a block) it never stalled, never smoked, but it was noisy.
parked it, shut it off, waited a bit, then I started it up a few more times, no more black smoke out the exhaust pipe, it turned to white, it's not steam like I've read, it's white exhaust.
I got out of the car and went inspecting, I suspected the tenant of pouring gas in it, so I went straight to where the fuel gets pumped in, I stuck my finger in. it smelt like gas, I opened the hood, I started looking around, I took the lines off the fuel filter, Gas!
Not long after that, I had the taste of gas in my mouth and the tingling on my tounge.
I phoned the police and I reported it, we decided on getting more of the proof in the pudding before proceeding. I'm in the midst of it now. Which, I'm really not into.
It's been suggested I get some of the mixture out of the jetta, and throw a cigerette in it to see if it burns. I'm having some pure diesel brought here. We're going to test it
.
I had under a 1/2 tank of diesel in it, it's now registering a 1/2 of a tank. I've estimated 2/3 diesel was in it. It Was at the line under the 1/2 tank.
Has anyone else had gas put into their diesel engine? If so, how did yours react? Violently?
