    By mistake I put about 3 gallons of diesel in my Taco fuel tank, which it was half full. What should I do?

    Lots of people make this mistake. Tow it to a dealer and blame your wife. Do not start it again.

    Diesel in a gas truck even with direct injection isn't the end of the world.

    I usually drain the tank, put fresh gas in, replace plugs and oil, then fuel flush, bam, done.

    EDIT: Im a tech and work on idiots cars, I am not the culprit!

    If you didn't even start It, then simply drain the tank, clean and refill it.

    If it was mine id fill it up the rest of the way with gas and drive it home. Kill all the misquitos on the way.
