Diesel very likely will run if you pour gasoline into intake. It does that with ether (starting fluid) when the engine has a problem with fuel.
Than I have seen several experiments (I think one was by Myth Busters) where even expert in pyrotechnics would not use gasoline for the test, but would substitute it with diesel fuel.
Gasoline is so uncontrollable that even experts are staying away.
I mean smart expert

Diesels are like women. I love when they put out but I don't want the problems or cost of maintenance.

That's good; I may use that saying in the future. Funny thing is that it's so true.

My 2 stroke weedeater with a 47 speed transmission because gearing is more important than an engine.

v10 WINS

The V Wins because of repair cost and maintenance. The jury is still out on the new 2011 diesel. This is for load 12k and under. Over that you need to do a diesel.

I wish. I could probably make a ton of money by marketing it as a "green" method of transportation. I've still got the 1 and picked up an audi to go with it as a dd.

The wifer and I are about to take off on a 7500 mile trip from Utah to Florida and back hauling our 30' Airstream Classic. Hitch weight is around 950#'s and the trailer weighs about 10,000. I plan on keeping real good records of mileage and vehicle costs along the way. My 2008 V-10 has almost 81,000 miles on it so we'll see how it does on this extended trip.

Anyone see that "apocalypse man" show the other night? He said the diesel was the way to go because it can run on nearly anything and you can make your own fuel for it if need be.

So in thee event that the world is ending and all the gas is used up PSD is the way to go!
