gnomefromnome 05/27/18 6:26:18 PM #15:	Since TC cant Google The first step is to stop your car and have it towed back home. You need to fix the problem immediately, as the longer diesel sits, the more damage it can do to the fuel system, engine and injectors. Next, use a siphon pump to remove the diesel from the tank and fill it up with gasoline. --- Oh my God...
