can i run a DK on petrol for the majority of the time without causeing any problems , As i understand if ran on parafin or kerosene it would need to be decoked often , so my idea is run it on petrol from the main tank for the most and use the small tank for parafin just switch the tanks use . Or are the pistons made of different materials and will melt or something stupid  .

No problem running on petrol, better than that paraffin crap that cokes everything up! My DK runs solely on petrol as you might have guessed........ Laughing

If you run a DK on petrol you will end up burning all your petrol.
