I accidentally filled up the wrong tank with diesel (and worse, no I wasn't drunk and don't have a good excuse).
Questions:
1) do hydraulic oil and diesel separate enough that I might be able to salvage any fluid when I drain the resevoir? Is the risk not worth the possible savings?
2) I ran it for several hours unknowingly; should I replace the filter?
3) It's a Bandit Model 150. On the hydraulic tank it reads "This machine is equipped with "Petro-Canada Hydrex-XV" hydraulic oil. Refill with same or equivalent. Refer to manual for use of "AW" oils." I don't have the manual nor could I find it online; what kind of hydraulic fluid should i use (ideally something i could find at walmart or auto parts store)?
