Question Gas By Accident in Fuel

[Mrslow]

What do I need to do after I drain the fuel tank I have a 1/4 tank of diesel
and gas, I am going to drain the tank, open the fuel bowl drain to purge the diesel/gas mixture from the lines, change the fuel filter, will this be enough
the truck was driven about 5 miles with the mixture what else would i need to do???

I wouldn't do all of that, how many gal of gas did you put into your tank. If you only drove it 5 miles I would go to Wal-Mart and get SOME 2 CYCLE oil and put in about a qt.
Start the truck and just let it run for about 30 min. Then drive it and put in about half a tank of fuel and another qt of the oil. It should be ok after that.

Generally, 1 quart of two-stroke oil per gallon of gasoline, then brim the tank with diesel fuel..

Thanks for the suggestions, was able to syphon out 20 gals of gas/diesel
to empty, refilled tank with fresh diesel, drain the fuel bowl, added two cycle
oil to the bowl replace filter, and started her up ran a little ragged at first
but she leveled out, actually the truck run alot better and quite'er,

Thanks Again

All said and done The injectors are alot quiter and the truck now has more
power after running that amount of gas thru.
