The scent of Diesel fuel vs. Regular Unleaded? I had bought 10 gallons of diesel fuel to kill the many unwanted bushes, shrubs, etc. that grow in my yard. I did use only part (2 gallons?) of this amount for this purpose. - Those treees are all dead.
NOW, I have the remaining 8 gallons in gasoline cans inside my garage.
I have no deisel engines - I do have many push mowers that use either Unleaded or Regular grade fuels.
I did fill the remaining two gallon cans with Unleaded fuel over the weekend.
Now I need to fill my lawn mowers%26#039; gas tanks. How (by scent) am I supposed to tell the difference between Deisel fuel and Unleaded fuel?

• Set up a stand outside your house and sell it for $4.75/gallon. Around here, it%26#039;s $5 or more. It%26#039;ll be gone in an hour. Throw in a cup of lemonade just for the heck of it -- good marketing.
• Dude You should put diesel in a yellow can. But it is to late now. Diesel fuel has die in it so it has a purple tinge to it.
