please help

I was in a huge hurry and started talking to someone and grabbed the black handle instead of green befor I noticed I pumped 15 gallons of gas then topped off with diesel so I now have a half half mix luckily only had to drive less than a mile home.

Is there something I can pour in it to save it like a couple gallons of new motor oil or do I just have to drain the whole thing so much for $87.32

THANKS for any help

I am in agreement with the others drain the mix before you have a piston go out the bottom of the motor. DO NOT drive it until done.

After your first tank full of fuel I would change fuel filters to be on the safe side.
