Adding 71 liters of gasoline to a diesel engine

I think the OP said this was a landcruiser of 2008 vintage - so quite possible extensive use and reduction in compression on that particular engine. I'm with Mapj1 - chucking some petrol in for easier winter starting is common place, and many engines will run on a variety of fuels with some relatively minor adjustments


Landcruisers are the vehicle of choice for every rag tag group operating at the edges of supply chain logistics and over the years I've seen them running in various parts of the world where fuel quality is in many cases questionable and supply is variable. It is often the vehicle into which you can chuck all sorts of concocted mixtures including palm oil, petrol, kerosene or 28 or 35 sec heating oil, DERV and in some places even TVO along with a pinch or splash of pain thinners, triclorethylene and pretty well any hydrocarbon group in between


None of it meets manufacturer spec, and will probably void all sorts of warranties but a decent local guy used to tinkering with the injectors and pumps can often get them running on some unbelievable fuel mixtures - they often have their own local mixtures


I think land cruisers have about 20 gallon tanks(European variants, US variants may be bigger to allow exploration of "The big country" - putting 15 gallons of lead free in, to fill it up mixing the petrol with about 5 gallons of diesel, might well allow it to run roughly and get half an hour or so use out of it   - although it won't have done it much good at all
