Gassed up

So I put 111 Liters of gas in my 6L today.

So whats the procedure, Ive sucked most of the gas out of the tank.
Ive never changed filters on this truck myself but , is there one under truck and one on top of engine?

Drop the tank entirely and clean it out, it'll hold several gallons down in the bottom. If you didn't start it I'd flush the lines from the HFCM back to the tank out.

I started it and drove 5 miles.
Theres about 10L of gas left in the tank , you don't think I could fill it back up with diesel and drive it?

IMO you need to drain the tank change the filters and when the top filter is out fill it with PM22. Main object is to not damage injectors at this point.

Just be sure to add extra lube of some sort, Optilube.....PM22.........I think your best bet is Optilube XL Extreme....gas will dry out things out. The XL is some slippery stuff, not sure a cetane booster is the way to go, gas is volatile enough the way it is, not need to risk extra detonation.
