petrol or diesel???

[DWestbrook]

Is there a way to tell the difference between petrol and diesel by eye?

I have a can of unidentified fuel and tools i dont want to oil up:confused1:

[fergusonforestry]

smell it,

You can FEEL the difference. Diesel is the oily one.

Put a couple of drops on a tissue if you don't recognise the smell. The petrol will be gone in 10 minutes and the diesel will still be there and oily

If you can't tell what an 'unidentified fuel' is then it's probably best to chuck it on the fire and start again.

Smell is distinctly different .

I assume that is a joke ?

Not the wisest of moves with a can of petrol

Ok,

thats all good to know,

i would ordinarily sling it out, but i am stone broke today and only have a few quid to put deisel in the van, and need some petrol for a lawn cut.
