Did the engine run with the gas in it? These engines are more tolerant with gasoline than others. Drain the tanks, refill with clean diesel, remove the water separator if equipped, drain it, replace the fuel filter. Fill the new filter with Stanadyne fuel treatment, pour the rest into the fuel tank. start the engine and let it warm up. Drive it around and clean it out. It may need pump and injector work if it smokes and won't clear out. I'd run it for awhile if it was mine and see what happens. Putting fuel conditioner in the tanks won't hurt. Kevin

'We bought a new John Deere engine via DieselEngineTrader.com for a great price and were able to sell it locally for $1000 less than our competition. We really appreciate the website - it's great!'

Ben Kauffman, Quaker Machine, PA, USA

'We had a Mercedes engine in stock for over a year but were unable to sell it in Belgium - it was an unusual specification for generator use. Once we listed it on DieselEngineTrader.com, we sold it to a customer in England! We get regular inquiries from customers across the world.'

Rob Verhoeven, Hamofa Engines, Belgium

'Urgently needed a diesel engine for a generator set. Found one that suited on DieselEngineTrader. It is very easy to find what you are looking for!'
