2014 Subaru Forester - fucked up by putting diesel in the fuel tank

[light sinew]

How do I get the diesel out of the fuel tank? I’ve already drove on it for a mile thinking something else was wrong with my car. I’m across the street from a gas station, but other than that I’m kinda on my own. What do I do?

Get a tow truck and tow it to a shop to minimize damage. Do not drive it, you’ll cause serious damage. The shop will have to flush all the diesel out and clean the tank thoroughly

I drove on it for about 7 minutes

I had no idea anything was wrong until I heard my engine sounding like a bunch of marbles in a tin can

But I’m in a parking lot, my engine is off, and I’m waiting for Triple AAA

Ouch, that’s not a good sign. That probably means there’s damage to the engine done already

I wish they taught me about fuel types in driving school

It’s a valuable lesson for sure, hope the damage isn’t too bad. Best of luck

Speaking of this, approximately how long would the fix take? I go back to college in 2 weeks and hoped to drive there with the Subaru, but since I drove on it idk if it’ll be repaired by then
