could anyone tell me if 2 gallons of 87 gas in a full tank of diesel will hurt a 7.3 diesel?

HAd same thing happen to my 92 7.3 was able to get most of the gas out but about three gallons, filled the rest up with Diesel and drove on.

Shouldn't hurt anything. It wouldn't hurt to add a couple quarts of motor oil to thicken the fuel up...

Petroleum products mix right back up.....

add a little cetane boost and you should be alright

thx for the responses guys! I was hoping it wouldn't be much of a concern.

Due to the fact gasoline is much dryer then Diesel, I would recommend some Stanadyne diesel lubricant possibly 2 bottles. Even a small amount of gasoline can cause long term effects to injectors and IPs.
