I've read that horror story from some unfortunate people a few times. Run rough. Smoke white.

If some cow chip put gasoline in the diesel tanks, they are responsible for all the damage. Pick up this month's diesel power magazine. It has an article on accidentally putting gas in your diesel.

If you want it, I have a locking cap with the key you can have for 5 bucks. I think I can just mail it.

I *heard* that up to about 10% doesn't cause damage.. can't vouch for it though...
