Gas

I have a 2006 f350 super duty lariat, 6.0 powerstroke. I let my nephew drive my truck for work, and well he put gas in the tank. He said there was 1/4 tank when he filled up, he drove 10-15 miles home and when he shut the truck off it hasnt started since. I have drained the fuel from the tank and fuel water seperator, replaced both fuel filters and have clean diesel in the tank now. But the truck still wont start, i have a solus edge im using to get data. The pictures of while attempting to crank, i have found conflicting information on the IPR being at 85 while cranking. Some say its bad, others say its normal. Any idea's on what i can try so i can get my truck back up and running would be helpful. If you would like me to run tests please remember i have the solus edge, the other one seems to be the better option though. If anyone knows the location of the fuel rails, and the steps to vacum them out please post that as i am concerned i still have gas in the rails.

There aren't fuel "rails" in this engine. The fuel passageways are machined into the heads .there is a banjo bolt connecting a hard line to the front of each head, that comes from the base of the upper fuel filter .the hole at the rear of each head is plugged with a plug that looks like a bolt .

I suppose you could pull the plugs at the back of the heads and key-on to run the fuel pump.

Getting all the gasoline out those fuel passages to the injectors will certainly help.

The only moving parts in the fuel system is fuel pump and the injectors.
Since diesel fuel lubricates each injector (fuel side) ....and there's gasoline in there.... they may be "stuck" and/or the pistons and cylinders may be scored beyond repair

If it were mine, I would be seriously considering new or reman injectors.....

Check the engine oil level.
Dry fuel aka gas will remove the oil film from the intensifier
piston and end up with fuel leaking past the piston.

If you have someone with IDS you could run the relative compression test
first. Then if all checks out a set of injectors.

IDS is the Ford diagnostic software. Looks like you need a Zeus, Modis or Versus to do relative compression.

Both the attached .pdfs describe how to remove the rear head plugs:
