Gas in fuel tank

[BlackSilver]

Just drove my 2008 Duramax about 5 miles on 75% gasoline 25% diesel mixture. Went to limp mode. Turned it off, won't restart (before I realized the fuel was corrupt).

 

Assuming I'll need injectors --- what else do you think?

Some of the guys at Diesel Place or Chevy GMC Duramax fourm talked about just draining tank changing fuel filter and most of the time they have good luck getting them going again with out to many problems. I will try and find some of those post and link them here. Good luck.

Who put in diesel?

 

You're going to have to drain and clean out the entire fuel system at minimum.

Took it to a diesel shop. They drained everything, blew out all the tubing, new fuel filter. All is well. $247.84 which included 15 gallons of fresh fuel. I'm a happy camper!

 

By the way I very HIGHLY recommend "Dana Brothers Auto and Diesel" shop in Mesa Arizona. Very straight up guys, even gave me military discount when they noticed that I was a vet.

I bet they've seen it before... I know I have, lol.

Damn, and here thought I was the first!

It's happened to a few people I know. We always had our tanks backwards so someone trying to steal would get a surprise.

 

On these newer diesels it's awesome how you can even put in the wrong fuel and they'll be ok. Didn't used to be that way lol.
