I was under the impression that gas and diesel will mix, won't separate without distillation process. If they will separate, that would make the process a lot easier.I probably would not worry about 6 ounce either. But like someone else said, diesel and gas do not mix and will separate. Diesel is denser and will sink to the bottom. If you let a can of mixed fuel sit you might be able to skim the gas off the top.
Easy enough to blend in six ounces with a tank full of fuel and drive it till it is empty. (just kidding!!)
I would fill the tank, drive it for 15 minutes, then siphon out the rest and pour it in your ex-wife's car. That ought to make somebody's day.
Six ounces of gas in a tank full of fuel isn't going to make that much difference.
The horror stories you hear about putting gas in a diesel tank are more like several gallons.
Friend bought a new 2011 F350 and was headed to Illinois for a Thresher meet. Stopped in Arkansas for fuel, made it about 5 miles up the road before it started acting up. Pulled into a dealership, where they took a look. They brought out a glass jar with diesel in it, and told him to smell it. It smelled like gas. He pulled his receipt, yep... bought diesel. Called the gas station and they gave him a phone number to Corporate, who covered the repair bill. Seems some dumb trucker dumped a tanker load of gas in the wrong underground tank, and instead of pumping it, Corporate decided to just fill the diesel tank the rest of the way. That gamble didn't work out so well.
