What a shame. Don't know that I could do that to such a nice car, even in a marital dispute.

Just out of curiosity - what does it mean that "I've filled the motor with diesel" Is that a good thing??? Because I thought these things ran on unleaded gasoline...not diesel...

"Pictures shown here are before it was cleaned with a 2-1/2" fire hose and then pressure washed. I've filled the motor with diesel and sprayed the rest of the chassis with a light oil to prevent oxidation.

I would not suggest trying to flushing the engine to get it running. This is not the old school rough cut small block. It's really a indy car on steroids. Take no chances with this beauty."

Default diesel

filling the motor with diesel keeps it from further rusting and cleans any rust or internal contaminants

as far as the unleaded comment i wouldnt recommend you fill your engine with unleaded- fill your gas tank with it

hes basically saying that he filled it with diesel to prevent any more corrosion internally from occuring and you cant flush it out like the older motors you could

diesel burns messy but is a good degreaser and cleaner for metal parts
hence the filled the motor with diesel
