The Liberty CRD's were designed on the assumption that someone would put gas in them -
no part issues - other than changing the filter - and if you've got enough diesel in the mix it will still run
couple of folks have done it (rough and bad mileage - but it runs)
I agree this is what I have also heard. But apparently 2007 and newer it is more of an issue. Of course it all depends on how much diesel remained in the tank before the gasoline was added, and how new and sophisticated the diesel engine is. In a 2007 or newer clean diesel engine, any amount of gasoline will probably damage the sensitive emissions control components (DPF, OxyCat and SCR) and system. In older engines with much less sophisticated and "touchy" emissions systems, a lightly diluted (say 90 percent diesel/10 percent gasoline) mix would probably pass through with little or no detriment. Here is a good link on this:
