If someone put a even a small amount of gasoline in a diesel and it still runs, color yourself LUCKY!

Hello everyone! I have fixed the issue. My father put gasoline in the tank... . I have drained and bled the system and it now runs like new. I will be running the fuel I put I'm it through and changing the fuel filter after. Thank you all for your suggestions. I would have never learned to bleed the fuel system without the tips!

holy crap.

since you didn't blow the engine may as well push your luck and see if you can make make money off this.

Remember to thank Dad for the help, and remind him that "we'll call you" when/if more help is needed.

I'm surprised it ran at all. Two different methods of ignition. Must have been a gas/diesel mix.
