1oz diesel fuel to 10gal of regular unleaded is what the man said,

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?
Since this is a boating forum and Happy didn't refer to a particular
vehicle, then it's not an issue. Most boats don't have them - maybe none
yet.

my first thought was how would this impact boating? better running boats
that produce less pollution, perhaps there's not a formula for non cat
marine engines but there could be...???
