1. Probably like oil in gas. I wouldn't expect a major problem

lots of smoke maybe.

[REP]

2. How "small" an amount? A drop, a cup, a gallon? How much gas?

[lonestarnot]

4. Prollee 2 gallons into 5, then diluted again with another 15

approximately.

[jberryhill]

8. Is this that new homeopathic engine I've heard about

That's kind of a lot.

[REP]

12. Yeah. Me, I'd drain that fucker.

But I have an unnatural relationship with my car.

[jberryhill]

15. I'd keep it in my 72 VW bus...

...my 2008 Smart, not so much.

[REP]

18. 2008 350Z I'll drive 'till one of us dies

On edit: almost nothing can kill a VW bus.

[REP]

9. Except some smoking and misfiring.

If it were MY car (and I love Pretty Gorgeous Beauty Car), I'd drain it, but that's me and I love my car.

[lonestarnot]

13. I hate all cars.

[jberryhill]

16. Seriously...

What is the year make and model, and is it leased, owned, or still have payments?

[REP]

17. Are you my ex?

No wait - all cars hated HIM. Really. Some people wouldn't even let him ride in theirs, he had such bad car mojo.

[lonestarnot]

21. LOL. Well all cars are some kind of bother, but some are more than others.

Now I feel sorry for your ex. LOL

[REP]

26. Not if you knew him!

Especially if you knew him, lent him your car and then it caught fire...

[jberryhill]

3. Depends - Is it a rental car?

I returned it full, didn't I?

[lonestarnot]

6. Now jberryhill, why would you do that? Doesn't diesel cost more than gasoline?

[jberryhill]

7. Yeah, but a lot of cars have locking gas caps now

[lonestarnot]

10. And another alot don't.

Snort. I don't think that was the questchin.

[Kurmudgeon]

5. A small amount, no problem. Bigger amounts will cause misfire and smoking.

[cherokeeprogressive]

11. We accidentally put about 1.5 gallons in a 10 gallon tank...

It was Pinzgauer with a 4 cyl air cooled engine.

Ran hot and slightly smokey for a few days. After that stopped we changed the spark plugs and the oil and it ran like a charm.

A mechanic suggested we retard the timing a degree or two after TDC but we couldn't find the timing mark so we blew that off.

I don't think you'll have a problem.

[REP]

14. I bet this isn't air cooled.

[cherokeeprogressive]

20. Me too... but liquid cooled engines actually run a few degrees cooler.

So I'm guessing it'd be even less of a problem in a water pumper.

[REP]

24. 2 gallons into 5 gallons initially ... But I worry :-)

[lonestarnot]

23. And if someone were to take you up on that you would take their money.

[lonestarnot]

19. I've been told that if it wasn't much that it would actually clean the crapper up after smoke quit,

but it never smoked, so I don't know. Strange assed story, but I can't get into all the details. Just wondered about engine implications.

[REP]

22. It's kind of more than "wasn't much," though - glad it's working out!

[lonestarnot]

25. LOL, yeah, but I can't cook either.
