If it was REALLY just one gallon of gasoline, and there was REALLY 26 gallons of diesel fuel, I'd say you're ok if you top if off with diesel, and add a generous amount of lubricity additive. BUT!, take my amateur opinion for what it's worth.

 

Dido what Commatoze said you'll be fine.

 

The old truckers used to put 10%gas in for winter mix, but back then there was a lot of sulfur in the fuel so now you also need to add a lube , diesel is a oil , gas is a solvent.

Add a quart of ND 30W oil in the tank and forget about it.

 

yep, just add a quart or two of oil and it will be fine.

 

Just in case you don't know ND stands for non detergent. Very important if you decide to put in a quart or two.

 

Hey thanks for all the advice.

I've appreciated the info, as I just added 1 1/2 gals of gas by mistake. Going to get a qt of ND!!
Thanks,

Auto Zone carries the ND 30. I've had trouble finding it around here.

 

A lot of places keep the ND behind the counter so people don't accidently pick it up and put it in their engine. You have to ask for it. The ND Napa sells is clear.

 

actually, gasoline is also an oil, and diesel is also a solvent.

 

and sulfur doesn't contribute to the lube properties of diesel at all.

 

The process to remove the sulphur robs the Diesel of it's lubricating properties.
