txiceman Report post Posted January 22, 2020 Gasoline has a much lower ignition point than diesel and with the high compression of a diesel, will be prone to knock and premature ignition. https://www.bellperformance.com/blog/accidentally-mixing-gasoline-and-diesel-fuel As little as 1%, that is 1 gallon in 100 gallons. You have about 15% gasoline. I would not start the engine and get it to a diesel shop to have the tank drained and the engine checked. Contact your engine manufacturer.
