Default Re: [MV] fuel mixing?

Henry,

No need to be embarrassed at all....simply dump in a couple of
quarts of motor oil in the fuel tank and drive it. It may be a bit smokier
on occasion until it burns the loa load of fuel which will take 3 or 4
refuelings. Remember it's a Multifuel, it will burn gas better if mixed
with diesel. After adding the motor oil make sure you top off the tank with
Diesel. Make sure you drive the vehicle as soon as you get the air pressure
up so the motion of the vehicle mixes the fuel in the tank. Carry spare
fuel filters in the truck with the wrenches to change em.

If you have to add oil, use pure veggie oil from the grocerie store. I have
used a mixture of about 10% for a while... just for the fun of it. There is
no problem, at least in the warm summer weather and not much additional
smoke either, if any.
