drain it and refill it with clean ole diesel and nothing else, unless you wanna run a fuel additive made for diesel fuel, stanadyne is my reccomendation on that.
Is it worth an $8000 gamble?

Good call monsterbaby. Somehow I must have TOTALY missed that 
. I think jake might have too.
Kinda a crappy deal that the gas station wont take the blame for it, but my experience with full service gas stations were all lil mom and pop stations and they all went out of bussiness years ago, so the guy prolly doesnt even have enough money to take the blame and pay for the injectors. I guess I would be ****ed. but then that would just give me a reason to put some swamps in. all I think I would ask for and expect to get is an honest apolagy. but I doubt there is such a thing anymore. kind sound like your S.O.L.

I would go to a ford dealer explain what happened and have the service manager or ford motor write a letter about what could happen in this situation, then take it to legal if the fuel station won't make good.

A buddy of mine was told by a cummins mechanicl to run used motor oil in his. I almost crapped myself when he whips out two gallons of used oil from his dads tractor and starts dumping it in

I will never do it either. but my new found interest in the WVO convertions cant be that much different then running straight oil. I will never run used oil, think of all the crap in there. proly does a wonder on injectors. 
Different strokes for different folks i guess.

GAS IN DEISEL
i JUST BOUGHT MY HUSBAND A GEORGOUS 2005 F 350 DUELLY WITH 49,000 MILES ON IT 2 WEEKS AGO. He went on Christmas eve to top it off At the station by our house, pumps it for you.well guess what the idiot put in gasoline instead of deisel. it was l was less than a gallon when he realized what he did. Well, The company is paying for the draining of the fuel tank and lines and filter and refilling the tank. What was even better the kid that was the attendent is in the fire dept. with my husband. Did not make a nice Christmas but could have been worse.

A gallon of gas in a 30 or 40 gallon tank wouldn't be worth draining. It wouldn't hurt if it had 10 gallons, probably...
