My experience. It was late at night in a small
town. I used the green nozzle in a dark
station. MISTAKE! I had put 10 gallons of
unleaded in my 34 gallon diesel tank before I
realized it. I changed to the diesel nozzle and
continued to fill the tank with diesel. I then
drove 40 miles at slow freeway speed to the
next town. I then put two quarts of motor oil
into the fuel tank and topped it off with diesel. I
continued to do the short-drive and fuel-it trick
until I got to my destination approximately 400
miles. I have sense driven several hundred
miles (on diesel) with no noticeable engine
problems. This was a Cummins Diesel in a
Dodge Ram Pickup. I keep my fingers
crossed every time I drive it hoping that I
haven’t damaged the injector pump.
