Put diesel in my Taco

Sorry, late nite vodka quote.

 

I can testify. No thank god it doesn't, because I may or may not have almost put diesel in my Taco.

 

I'm lost. Is this a troll thread? someone from the frontier forum?

 

....29...in... uh 22 days?

 

Old habits are hard to break after 15 years of driving a diesel and then getting a gas truck.

 

Wrong hole my guess

 

Brilliant.

 

Good job

 

Well....I did put diesel in my Buell S1W once. Quickly drained and flushed the tank. But that bitch smoked like a freight train for those 2 miles to home.

 

We put 5 gallons of diesel in my bro's dads Seaswirl one time on the way to the lake. Didn't tell him, topped it off with 91 and a shit ton of fuel system cleaner. No mosquito's on the lake. Then some captain crashed the boat into some rocks and put a huge hole in it. Not a winning weekend.

 

as long as you didn't run it you should be okay. I work at VW, we've had people fill their diesel's with gas...and ran it. High pressure pump ate itself, metal shavings all through the fuel system. No, we didn't cover it under warranty. Parts list came out to about $6k, with labour the customers usually end up footing $8-9k

 

Totally different thing to put gas in diesel.

If you don't have cats, that amount of diesel won't cause any other harm but white smoke and maybe a little bad starting.

Just drain&drive.

 

According to the 2GR-FKS literature, 3rd gens equipped with the 2GR-FKS 3.5L V6 do not have a drain in the fuel tank. There is only a mark where the manufacturer has denoted the lowest portion of the fuel tank for it to be drilled and drained before scrapping the vehicle. The mark has the universal recycling logo next to it molded into the poly (E.G. plastic) fuel tank. If the OP is driving a 2.7L 4CYL, different system. The 2GR-FKS does not have a fuel return system either, so nothing that fails to exit the injectors will return to the tank to further "mix" or emulsify itself.

 

and driving?

 

Ugh, came here thinking someone diesel swapped a 3rd gen. I was intrigued.
