Remember my Dad filling and I mean filling an engine with diesel fuel, cylinders, crank case, intake manifold and just let it sit in the sun for a week or so. Then he drain the whole thing out. Put it in gear and rocked the car back and forth until the engine would spin all the way around then put fresh fuel in the carb put the plugs back in fresh oil and the silly engine start with a cloud of smoke made a racket but as it sat there running it smooth out smoke stopped coming out the exhaust. Don't know how long the engine survived but I remember the car driving away under its own power.
