Any mechanics out there? Even of the shade tree variety? I gave my Toyota Tacoma the wrong nutes.

I put about a half to one gallon of off-road diesel into my tank. Car was on when I put it in but I turned it off quickly when I realized. It never bogged down or anything. It was added to an EXTREMELY low tank. Not sure what difference that will make.

I’m thinking obvious drain of the tank, change the fuel filter and fill it up with some 93 and hope for the best. Is there a better alternative? Car is not new, 2004 but only 122k on it.
Good luck.

Hoping this does the trick
I'd listen to the guys that already chimed in. Draining your tank won't hurt, diluting what's left will help. If you don't drop your fuel tank you won't get it all out again dilution will work. I also wouldn't put that cleaner in as you already did (clean it). Finally what is the charge cable for? I need another. Oh and instead of the snake oil I'd swap out my plugs, fuel filter and other filters. I hate doing it enough that when I do mine I do them all, cabin filter, air filter etc..... Make sure you gap your plugs correctly.

Best of luck.

I love seafoam....but you're basically adding more cleaner.

I'd run it keep topping it off and then change the filter when the diesel cleans everything out. But that's your decision to make...you know how much you actually put in.
Probably paying more than the diesel 'cleaner' too. I really should ask the hub he's the ASE master I'm just the shade tree.

That's awesome! When you take edibles and go to bed right away do you have that cloudy headed feeling in the morning? Like you're kinda hung over but not really.
I eat them and stay up until I feel them starting to kick in. I ate all of the cleanup gumminess. I always forget about that part lol.
I just really started with the edibles. I’m a lifelong insomniac and I’ve taken everything for it from Seconal to Trazodone and gummies work the best for me so far. Chemicals just don’t work right for me. I’m paradoxical to a lot of meds. If I take Valium look out! It makes me homicidal. Ambien is just like cocaine to me. Thank you God for thc.
And thanks to my angel for helping me out.

Lots of people here saying the diesel is going to clean my engine.. I thought that it was going to be a death kiss to the engine but you guys are saying it’s going to potentially be a good thing.

Had someone tell me to get some spark plugs just Incase, if I’m not mistaken it has ignition coils (maybe the same thing?). Loving how people are telling me it’s going to make it cleaner lol. And yeah I wanted to avoid dropping the tank if at all possible so I’m probably going to just dilute like you guys are saying after I siphon a little out.

Seafoam works well on motors that have sat a season. Love the spray they have that you spray in the intake. You can hear and feel the difference.
Also had a guy tell me to spray some in my intake to help burn the diesel out, that didn’t seem necessary to me though for this particular instance

Ignition coil still needs spark plugs. I'd spray ether or carb cleaner in my intake. But I doubt you'll need that. I did go out for a jog this morning and asked the ASE hub he said your engine was now junk and time to crush the car. I think he was in a bad mood.

It's possible the mood had something to do with me finding a kitten with it's head stuck in a soup can. I had to wrap it in my shirt to get it home, put the can in the vice and use vice grips and dykes on the can to get it out. I then changed my shirt. Hub is sure I have cooties and I am now junk and can go to the crusher with your car.

What was it 04 taco? 6 or a 4?
Actually I was mistaken it’s a 2003 taco 4 cylinder. A real speed demon. When you say pull a fuel line and let the pump do the work, is that the line that goes in to the fuel filter? Do you mean take that off and turn the car on? Is that a dumb question because the car can’t run withOut a fuel line feeding the engine? Haha I’m not super mechanically-abled but I’m plenty capable of watching YouTube videos and breaking my wrenches out. And yeah The guy at autozone told me the same thing about siphoning, he said you might not be able to get in their deep enough (insert penis joke)

Your fuel pump will run before the motor starts.

Oh it’s an electrical component so all I need to do is turn the key over and it’ll pump?

You will not kill that motor. 22re is bomb proof. I have tried.
