I just accidentally put diesel fuel in the hydraulic oil reservoir of an excavator. Most of it drained out from the top because it was over flowing. That's how i noticed. If I could guess there is less than one gallon of diesel in there and it is a pretty big excavator so it has a big hydraulic tank. Just wondering if the pressure will cause the diesel to combust. It's a rental an I only need it for another hour or 2. Thanks
When compressed, diesel fuel explodes.
