Small amount of gasoline in our CTD's tank

It's a long (stupid) story, but we accidentally put a gallon or so of gasoline into our RAM CTD's fuel tank.

And, yeah, I drove off and didn't realize we had done it until after I had driven about 10 miles. Specifically, the truck had about half a tank of diesel in it at the time and the gallon of gasoline was added to the top of that.

I didn't notice any difference in the 10 miles I drove, but I'm obviously concerned about it. I was thinking that I'd dilute the gasoline by filling the top half of the tank, but I thought I'd check with the board first.

Any thoughts would be gladly received. Thanks for your time...

Fill it up with real fuel, maybe toss in a can of additive or two stroke and go to town.

A day or two ago, someone filled their entire take with gas. Most recommendations were to siphon what you could, empty the filter, fill it with diesel and some additive and run it out.

We did the same to a power joke here at work that's still running fine (well as good as powerjokes do) and the cummins is a lot tougher engine.
