Toyota Repair: wrong fuel, toyota 4 runner, fire risk


Question
I have just filled my gas tank on my 2003 Toyota 4 Runner with diesel by mistake. I did crank the enjine a few time but was not able to travel. Is the repair as simple as draining the tank and cleaning the fuel lines? I'm assuming the injectors do not need to be cleaned.

Answer
Drain the fuel tank, put in fresh gas and open the fuel line near the engine, use a container and activate the fuel pump by cranking the engine until you feel that enough fuel has come through to get rid of the diesel, there is a fire risk so make sure there is no spill etc., close the line and try to start it may take a while to get the diesel out of the injectors but this normally works.
