Never put orange juice in a diesel truck. Likewise, never put gas in a diesel truck. In case any diesel jockeys out there don't know: If you or somebody at a service station puts gas in your diesel's tank by mistake, DON'T START THE ENGINE. Push it off to the side and have it towed to a shop that can drop the tank and drain it of all the gasoline. Refill it with diesel. You will be fine. Don't do this, and you will be be replacing an $8000 engine. I put gas in my tank once, and luckily caught myself before destroying my Cummins diesel engine. I was lucky. My nephew knew how to do the work for me, so I was out only $200 for the wasted fuel and tow job. He said he learned how by replacing the tank and the engine of a professional trucker who failed to heed this advice.
