Help little bro put 87 oct in my diesel what to do?
So i let my little bro borrow my truck and he put 87 oct in it prolly drove it 5 miles total it kept dieing on him i limped it home would'ent go over 35 but made it. i took off fuel filter and smells of gas bad did it hurt anything in the motor or what can i do to get it out of the system

you prob didnt do any damage yet. from all the stories ive heard of this happening ive never once heard of any real damage occurring from it. on the other hand ive heard and seen catastrophies from using ether and on a cold morning ether is a generally accepted practice. the point is drain/suck/whatever u gotta do to get most of it out and then fill it up with diesel fuel and maby add a little extra fuel lubricity treatment if ur paranoid. FPPF or FS (fuel service i think is its full name) are both good ones and should be used anyway with todays ultra low sulfer fuel, and u should be fine

i drained the tank completely i can't fill the tank past 1/4 tank because of some random leak i let him drive my truck to school today like a 5 mile drive he said it worked fine till he put 9 bucks in the tank and drove it back to school i drained the tank cracked the lines and rinsed out the fuel water separator with diesel like 3 times let it soak for like 10 mins but why would this cause it not to go over 30 i never had any problems from the trans
