How long did she run the truck before ya'll noticed there was gasoline in it?

There is ways out if the engine hasn't already had a coronary.

That sucks. :cussing: -mad -mad -mad -mad . Do not run it. Did she drive it after fuel up? and how far? Get it pumped out asap.

:sorry :sorry Words just can't explain how I am feeling. I can't imagine how you are doing. It is all going to depend on if she drove the truck and how much went into the engine. If you suck it out and change the filters you might be alright. It is going to run funny for a bit. Had a buddy do that but he realized what he did about 5 minutes after filling up. That is what we did and just so happened to save it. Good luck.

I did that same thing using a mismarked pump in my old IDI. I had it siphoned out and refilled with diesel and it was fine. Granted, the IDI was probably more forgiving than a 6.0 but maybe it wont be any problem. Let us know what happens!
