Not a 4bt question but looking for some insight from you experiened diesel heads. My wife put 26 gallons of regular gasoline in the 6.5td suburban while I was at the bank nearby. The pump shut off because it had reached $75. I added 6 more gallons of diesel. It ran rough and low powered over to Wal Mart where I added a quart of ATF. It wouldn't start so I dumped in a quart of Power Service. We let it sit for about 2 hours while we walked over to look at a 6.2 K10 we had been scheduled to see. When we came back it started and we drove it the 10 miles home with a 2000 ft. climb at speeds of 35 mph max. I would run decent up to about 1500 rpm and it idled nicely. What should I do now? Would it not run well because of the low cetane in gas? Should I dump in one or two more quarts of Power Service? Or do I have to drain that fuel mixture out? I was thinking maybe I could drain half of it and fill the other half back with diesel then poor it back in over time. But I'd like to avoid that unpleasant task if possible.
