new holland tc45d help!!!

You guys are making a mountain out of a mole hill. There are TWO bolts in the back of the tractor that hold the fuel tank on. The flexible fuel line connected to the tank and can easily be removed. And there is a wire that has a spade connector for the sending unit. Remove the fuel line last if there is still some gas in the tank.

You can disconnect all of these things in less time than it takes to drain the tank. That way you can turn the tank upside down and get the tank flushed out to be sure there is no residual gas left in the tank.

You are still free to choose whatever means you like.

Dextron added to diesel fuel will help lube and clean the injection pump, injectors & valve guides better than any high priced fuel additive you can by off the shelf.

thanks for all info guys, First of all I did not start the tractor, I noticed that I had the red can , not the yellow in my hand after I filled.
Probably only two gallons of gas went in. It is a 13 gallon tank.
So I tried a few of your suggestions, mainly I siphoned every drop I could in the tank, then I removed the tank and flushed it with fresh diese.
Put the tank back on and started it up, went right on out and bush hogged one of my horse pastures.
Glad I found this site, you guys are great.

Now you have to do what I did when I bought my first diesel truck. You have to go to different fuel stations. My buddy told me that he pumped gas into his F250 twice. both times was force of habit from pulling gas burners up to a certain pump at the station he had used for 10 years. Now he uses a different station that has the Diesel pumps on the opposite side he hasnt done it since. I took his advise and switched stations right from the start and have not tried to put gas in mine. So put your yellow can in a different spot than the red can and make it your tractor "station"

Great news... but did you put in a couple of tablespoons of Pepto-Bismol to get rid of the "gas"?
