Never, ever put gas in your diesel's fuel tank. I've never seen it, and granted is may work to degel, gas is 100% HARMFULL to a diesel fuel system.

Wow, anyone putting gas in a modern direct injection diesel is playing with the pump life instantly.
If you get gas accidently into the tank drain it, flush and refill with diesel only.

Adding gas to diesel worked with the old IDI diesel during the 80's- and it was not advisable to do so because of the very harsh engine run.

But it is an absolute nono for Common rail diesels- it may not harmful to the diesel system - but your IP won't survive.
It is a major cause for IP fail in europe - all those girls adding gas by accident:argh:

All the pumps around here are B11 so that's what I use. When I cross the state line into Galax, VA, I get B5.

In the old days we could dump about anything in the fuel tanks and them trucks would run just fine. Definitely not the case on these newer trucks.

My old 70's era tractor that I use right now, I burn anything in it. I just dump all my fluids, tranny fluid, hydraulic fluid, oil, you name it into 5 gal buckets and use it for fuel. I filter and dump it in the tractor in a 1 to 5 mix diesel and it runs just fine. I sure wouldn't do this with my truck.

The diesel fuel pumps in germany deliver B7 by law to preserve crude oil resources.

Don't believe the myth of the added lubricity of bio.
After adding only 1% of bio the additional lubrication is exhausted.That means more bio does not add any extra lube advantage.

actually, you wanna keep the filter for about 500 miles, because the gas will clean out the tank and your gonna end up putting another one on after the new one

Anything common rail I would only run about 10% on an accidental fill with gas. Anything else I would say 25-30% and add a quart or 2 of motor oil. Guys running WMO iis cutting it with gas so not much different here. Some manufactures allow you to run 15% gas in winter. Again not common rail.

So I say you had a 40 gallon tank and accidentally pumped 4 or 5 gallons in it no big deal. I'm not recommending that anyone do this but if it happens, oh well.

On base we don't put any used products in the recyclable oil drum. If it's flammable it goes into the tank of the deuce and 1/2. Good ol' multi-fuel engine, put anything flammable in the tank and she lives. Lol. :choochoo:

i would have the intire fuel system flushed and cleaned and shut off motor quckly as posible emedatly to keep from gas from going into system diesel and gas are very diffrent diesel is made with lower sulfer such as highway diesel usally contains 15% low sulfer diesel is a by product to gasoline it has more additives gas is more clean burning diesel is the last thing that is refined which i dont understand why diesel prices are so high compared to gas because diesel is cheaper to refine and make and burns durtyer other than gasoline

You will do as you wish with your truck, it's your truck and nobody can tell you what to do. I for one would not waste any fuel by draining it out and the cost of a tow back to your shop. A diesel engine can handle safely up to 15-20% gasoline especially older Power Strokes. It is recommended to put up to 15% gas in the winter by several manufactures of diesel engines. Also those who burn WMO (waste motor oil) as fuel cut it with a mixture of gasoline. Do as you wish but if it happened to me I would be driving home and not walking home.:jump::jump:
