[diesel_mercedes] My turn to be stupid

 

Hey folks,
I did a real bonehead the other day. I put in about 7 gallons of premium
fuel. I did not fill it. It was nearly empty when I put it in, so the
ratio was pretty high afterwards. Naturally, it ran really bad. So I
hightailed it to another gas station and topped it with about 10 gallons
of diesel. It now runs fair, but still smokes and bucks. I figure I am
about 50-50 right now.
I talked to an oldtimer about this and he said that as long as it runs
well enough to take it on the road, I should add some motor oil and
drive it out. I put about a cupful in and it did seem to help a little,
but obviously, I need to just use this stuff up.
Is adding a little more motor oil going to help, or should I just put up
with it and get on?
