Guys I have a big problem, and I'm hoping that some of you may have some knowledge to the question I'm going to ask:
Last night I put $30.00 of gas, yes I said gas in my diesel truck. I drove it home about 3 miles, then I drove it about 5 miles this morning on the way to work before I realized what I had done, so I left it parked when I realized it. and got a ride to work. I have been told that I either have to pull the Tank or siphon the gas out. Here's my question, is there a special pump to get the gas out ? Any information would be appreciated.
How much fuel was in the tank before you put the gas in? How much will the tank hold?
“Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you are a mile away from them and you have their shoes.”
$300.00 worth of gas is what 8-9 gallons? If the tank was realatively full to start with, which I doubt, then you might be alright just to run it on out. It'll smoke like hell but that's about it. If the tank was close to empty, which I suspect, then drop it like its hot and drain it.
I have never done this buthave always been told this is what to do.
But I do stay at a lot of Holiday Inn Expresses through out the year.
In the words of the great Doc Holliday, "I'll be your huckleberry"
it had about 10 gal of fuel, and i put 12 gal of gas. I found someone to replace the fuel filter and lines and drain it. Thanks Guys, I was just in a panic.
Don't feel bad, I did the same thing a few years ago, costly mistake, I beat you will look at those green pumps several times before you pull the fuel trigger again. I sure do.
Take a kid hunting or fishing and you will be rewarded.
oh believe me I will. that's the problem we all have so much on our minds, they are on over load.
I have not fished in 3 weeks now....I'm sure that could be one of my problems.
Don't run it with ANY gas in it. A new diesel engine is 5-6K. Drain the tank and purge all the fuel lines and install a new filter. You can get a decent pump from harbor freight. Just a hand pump will do. Make sure you have something to hold 20+ gallons of fuel.
