sounds like you pumped DIESEL in your tanks by mistake because nobody else had problems

I got gas at both the Tiki bar (60 gal per side) and Sunshine key (30 gal per side) and topped off with cam 2 110 octane I brought in my truck. We pulled the fuel seperators and sure enough there was a good percentage of Diesel in the fuel. NO!! I did not use the wrong pump or nozzle!!! I am extremely carful of that. One of the 2 places has a serious problem. Now I have a very serious problem. Has anyone else had a problem with fueling up at either place?
Lubejob are you sure you did not grab the DIESEL pump by mistake Because it looks like no one but you had a problem

Saturday, I went about 60 miles south of Islamarada with only 3 other boats. That's where the bad fuel had to come from. Infact, my engine guy said if I has smaller HP engines, I maynot have even known. It probably just would have ran a little rough.

put in a mercury 850sci, can still run on 87 octane and has knock sensors .

Read up a few posts. Depending on the ratio, gasoline can ignite diesel and then things are going to get really hot. :eek:
