I'm running a mix of about 25% gasoline in my M35. A fellow lent his
truck to a knucklehead who filled it with gas instead of diesel. This
worked out well for me who got the hydrocarbon hodgepodge for free!
No problem starting and it was -20 this morning. I'm still sure to let
it warm up nice before I move it, none the less.
