Tom-

So put diesel fuel into the oil fill hole?  And fill it up to capacity
(equivalent to adding oil)?  And then run the engine on regular gasoline?

Boy, I'm getting some very interesting ideas from this thread.  Anyone with
any input on any of these that may be dangerous, please let me know.  You
all know my luck, and if anything could be dangerous, it will for me!

Thanks!
