unlead in a diesel

My buddy put race fuel in his Chevy dually one time. He did it what everyone here mentioned and he drove it home fine.

Oh yeah I had to trailer his back to the hotel .

Serisouly drain the tank, refill with fresh diesel, then run it a while, then change fuel filters.

I will admit I have done this once. 5am on my way to the hunting stand. Stopped jumped out of the truck. Paid at the pump. Next thing I know I was smelling gasoline very strong. I stopped looked and notice I put about 4 gallons in my tank. I just put the nozzle back, repay then fill the tank with 26 gallons of diesel. I have 167,772 miles on my truck with no problems.

Some people will even claim that you should run 1-2 gallons of gasoline through your engine to clean the injectors. I won't do it on a regular basis. They have companies that make injector cleaning additives for fuel for a reason.

When did diesel and gasoline stop mixing? Never heard of them separating, that's why the old timers used to put a couple of gallons of gasoline in the tank in the winter time to make a winter blend.

If gas and diesel separate then adding oil to the tank as you suggested wouldn't work either.
