    I wouldn’t be surprised if an old mechanical injection diesel would run on petrol. You can definitely run them on a mixture of both petrol and diesel, as well as kerosene.

      Old mechanical injection diesels use the same principles of physics as the new ones do, just with electronic timing and fuel injection. I mean, the engine may on this stuff at least once. For some length of time. You can also do pretty much anything at least once. It’s the consequences that are the issue. You’re just doing the damage slower by diluting the fuel that doesn’t belong.
