Hi Bob,
The reason I suggest to keep litigation out of it is because as soon as that occurs, the defendant in this case will no longer talk to you.I know several folks have already mentioned this, and I am no expert in mixing diesel and gasoline, but in the cases I have seen where it has happened, there has been no long term consequence to the diesel engine and it is not as uncommon as folks might think.
If you can stay calm and step things through I think you will come out fine. Litigation is a much more complex task that folks are suggesting. If you can come up with a settlement that is suitable to you and not extreme to the defendant in this case, I suspect you might well make progress.
At this point, I think it is important to maintain a perspective that it was an honest mistake and these things do happen to the best of us. Right now I think the first step is to simply gather information about the possible consequences, if any. So far everything sounds to me like conjecture (my opinion).

I am 100% positive that no problems will arise in the future due to this one incident of fuel dilution.
