Contaminated fuel question ???

(1/3) > >>

barmiebrumie:
As some of you know I work in at a large accident repair centre,

anyway part of the group is a recovery service (rac/green flag, police ect), when cars are recovered due to the wrong type of fuel being put in we have to pay to have the fuel taken away, I have been given permission by the owner to ''help myself'' to as much as I want, I do run my truck on svo/desiel mix,

Question is how much ''dirty'' fuel could I mix in % & would it cause any harm, think the fuel is 70% desiel 30% petrol & there is about 100 gallon at the moment   :shock:  

Thanks in advance

muddysteve:
if its only 30% petrol to diesel mix i'd just chuck it straight in

as for diluting SVO it should do it better if theres a little petrol in the mix

you lucky [!Expletive Deleted!] is all i can say

barmiebrumie:
I'm not lucky I'm just saving my boss money  :wink: , & doing the enviroment a favour by recyling it  :wink: ,

But thanks for the answer thats what I was hoping to here  :D

I would make one check and that is with the fuel pump manufacturer.
I ran Reo`s, multifuels as they call them, they claim they run on everything but avgas...But you put a less than 50% ratio of diesel in them and the pump dry`s out and goes on strike...Costly.
Thankfully I did my research and never had a problem.
I also got my fuel from a recovery operator, so it was free :D
