Gasoline pumped to diesel tank.....
Hi! I need your expertise or opinion.
I have diesel engine Volvo Penta MD3 on my sailboat .Just after refueling in one of the marina(in 10 minutes) engine reached temp 280 F I had to run the engine for another 8-10 minutes to drop the anchor and I shut off the engine which was red hot.I suspect that they pumped 20 gal gasoline instead of diesel.Capacity of the tank is 40 gal.I still have this fuel in the tank.How can I check if gasoline is in the tank,mixed with diesel ? Is it any method,way to analyze or find out.Maybe I should find the lab or place that can be determine what this fuel consists. If they pumped the gasoline accidentally or not the engine is probably damaged.Thank You For Your Help. Ytter |
