Anybody close to here? Fuel mix up at the pump and I'm dead in the water

Damn Jason! I just sent you a text, let me know what you need. I can come up if you need, about 2.5 hrs away.

I'm gonna try to pump it out. Just have to buy 25 gal of cans.

He's at exit 48 on I77 in SC. @elkaholic is heading home via that way already. Anybody more local is encouraged to respond, but I think we all know that that corridor is pretty out of the way to most of us.

Charlotte folks are closer.

@elkaholic to the rescue! Thanks @JohnVee !

there is a drain plug on the bottom of the gas tank. drivers side. just dump the contents.

into your government approved fuel recycling containers of course.

Sam is bringing me buckets. In desperation I considered (in no particular order):
Bulk Food waste oil container,
Dumpster diving for waste containers,
Offering free fill ups,
Parking lot trashcan

Luckily I am and environmentally conscious grownup... And there are probably surveillance cameras. We watch a lot of forensic files at my house.

I just gave away a 5 gal Jerry can at the Christmas party, maybe Sam ended up with it.

I'm assuming you didn't start the engine, so it could've been much worse. Keep us updated.

someone said that @elkaholic was a good egg and this just affirms it! Kuddos to you Sam!

@slceso is on the road home as of about 10:15PM this evening. We drained ~22-23 gallons of mostly gasoline from the tank, put 10 gallons of diesel in to mix with the little gasoline left in the tank, bled the ones to the injector pump ..... and she fired up on the first full revolution of the crank ....
