P700 2017 700-4 Sputtered then could not start?

[Tropicalfruitfarm]

Drove the 700 around the farm today. Everything started out fine. Made multiple trips back to shed, and on one trip I added about 3 gallons of gas. On a trip back to the shed, it sputtered but recovered and was able to drive to shed. Then it wouldn't start. Battery is fine, it just wont turn over. Tried stepping on brake, shifting everything. I have the seat belt permanently connected as I typically don't use it. Nothing would get it to turn over. I checked relays and fuses and pulled one fuse out and put it back in.

Then I started to get weird things on the dash board, so I thought I would disconnect the battery to "reset" everything. Well, after doing that, the starter wouldn't even kick in! So then I tried to jump start it, no luck. So I left it for a while and tried to start it, I was back to square one, battery ( I have two) appeared to be fine and engage the starter, bit it just wouldn't turn over. I can't imagine the fuel was bad, it's ethanol free and purchased recently. I have about two hours on it after the recent dealer 20 hour maintenance work.

Any thoughts or things to try?

What were the weird things you were getting on the dashboard?

Go look in that gas can. Just so you can rule it out. (water, diesel, trash)

I know when it's cold outside and the voltage drops while starting I will get weird stuff on the display. I know you said you have ruled out the battery, but I found on the Rincon forums that if the voltage is too low it will shut off the injector. Like gator said, it could be the gas.

Well well well, I poured diesel into the tank.

In the old days it was easier to tell the difference. I purchased some new ethanol free gas and poured it into a plastic bottle to check the color. It is light green, like Mountain Dew. Then I did the same with the diesel, it too is light green.

Pioneers no like diesel

Good call, Gator! I forgot the first rule in troubleshooting: start with the easiest thing first.

Neither do Toro mowers.

I emptied my Honda generator to be on the safe side and picked two new yellow fuel cans.

Bought some of those new quick pour Midwest 5 gallon cans at Rural King for 10 bucks for gas, 12 for diesel. Not sure why yellow cost more than red but it's worth it not get your fuels mixed up.
