You're not the first, and won't be the last.
Still don't think they put drains on any of out tanks. Siphon as much as you can, and filler up to dulute any left-over. Sure wouldn't hurt to replace the fuel filter also. If you could prime the heck out of it into the old fuel filter after tank refilled with the right stuff, that should remove it from the fuel lines.

Remover the fuel line from he tank to the frame rail line right behind the fuel cooler.

You will need the tool from Sears to get it apart.

It is easy to remove the line with the tool.

You can then syphon most of the tank dry that way if you can hook up a pump to it to help expidite it.

Get as much out as you can then if you have to drop the tank that won't be so bad.

If you get almost all of it out load it up with fresh diesel and you might be OK.

Good Luck,

I did it too, yea i am a woman.. but i have seen guys admittingly do it too..... those are the real men....lol...;) I put in 60 ltrs. drove it for 6 kms and then it slowed right down with hardly any power and finally just died.. got it towed. drained the tank . changed fuel filters etc. theres two that need to be changed.. bled the lines. put in new diesel.. took a while to turn over but once it did it ran great.. heard a little extra clanking in the engine. a week later blew the heads... make sure you put in the lube.. it dries out the seals... was a 7500.00 mistake and a waste of 60.00 in gas.. not to mention the years off the engine....good luck.. the begining of all my problems started the day i put gas in.......:cool: jenn
