thank you SO MUCH for the help link. I was pretty sure something like that existed here.

Got the van to the Ford dealer (we're in the middle of a long journey and with the holiday coming up I really wanted it taken care of today) and they found GAS in the tank!!! I know I filled it with diesel and my receipt even shows diesel was sold, so it isn't faulty memory. We're filling up once a day (due to driving 400 some odd miles daily - roadtrip) so I can't imagine it was anything other than the Quick Trip #37 in Bartlesville Oklahoma. I also noticed that the problem started very soon (like 5 miles) after dieseling up. (do you guys still say "gas up"?)

I only put in 1/2 a tank of bad diesel and it definitely did NOT smell like gasoline when I pumped the diesel, so I'm hoping the amount of gas in the diesel was low.

Dealership is dropping the tank, emptying it, flushing the system and replacing the fuel filter. Any other ideas?
