general public.


I've ehard of that. There's a local guy that carries a quart oil
container will diesel in it and when he fills his car or pickup, he
puts the diesel in first then tops the tank.


I've been running 2-stroke 50:1 mix in my Briggs lawnmower and it's
been runing fine. no plug fouling and I like the idea of a bit of cyl
wall lube too. I don't know if there's a performance difference or
not. it's a 5hp lawnmower so I can't seem to notice any difference in
performance.


I wonder what that diesel would do to your catalytic converter?


apparently nothing, I talked this subject around at the boat shop this
morning and to my surprise its a well know fix down georgia way, cleans up
the emissions and get clunkers with bad cats through there emissions test..

It shouldn't hut them at all. I was talking to a local wrench and he
said that you take an engine that burns oil though the cylinders...
the cat converter will burn most of it up before it comes out the pipe.
