HELP put gas in diesel truck

Postby jdaivs1 » Fri Feb 06, 2015 8:10 pm

My niece accidentally put about 7 gallons of gas in my diesel. Can I just fill the tank with diesel and go? I read some where of people mixing gas and diesel just can't remember where? (93 w250)

Not with 7 gallons.... drain it. I did it once on my RC.... just pull the line right at the lift pump and pump it out through that. I used a little squeeze bulb to get it going and let it gravity feed into tanks.

Thanks. By the way my rebuilt stock injectors work great!

Glad to hear. Was it driven much after, or was it caught right at the tank?


I caught mine while I was doing it (going hunting at 2 in the morning, was tired). Much drive time and potentially can damage the ip.

Ya, that's not good. My bet is the ip crapped out.
