They used to, I used to add around 25% petrol to the diesel in my truck to prevent the diesel from waxing, but when the new FH series of trucks were introduced around 1994 and we tried adding petrol, the ecu just shut the thing down -- Regards, Vince.

It's already added to diesel as a foam suppressant and the injection systems weren't affected it was the oxygen sensors which, like Conor's car, diesel engines don't have. -- Clive.

Presumably the cold weather characteristics of diesel fuels will have been improved, and maybe if it is still relevant to add petrol, the proportion will now be much lower than 25%. Apart from anything else I would have thought that any significant petrol content would seriously damage the expensive fuel pump, rather than the engine. Best wishes all, Dave. |
