Gasoline in Diesel

[farmdog]

Ok I admit stupidity, but I dumpted about 3 gallons of gasoline into my almost empty tc33d
diesel tank. What do I do next? cussing and crying are not options. Thanks.

Drain it and refill with a full tank of diesel..May want to drain the lines ...You didn't try to start it, did you?

No, didnt try to start it, is it OK to start if I drain and refill?

If you havent started it then draining it and refilling with a full tank of diesel will be more than adequate.

Agreed. Whatever minute amout of gas that is in there after you drain it will dilute. I would probably drain the lines just to be on the safe side, but that's just me.

a small amount of gas mixed with diesel won't hurt anything. Drain the tank as best you can, refill with diesel and drive away.

I bought this tc33d used and without a manual. How do I drain a diesel tank. Not sure where to make the connection.

Go to this site for Messicks and scroll down the page and you will see where the fuel filter and fuel lines are....after you drain the tank if it were me I would pour another gallon of diesel fuel into the tank and let it drain through as well to flush any remaining gas out ...
