No it will NOT harm your truch, providing you did a decent job at draining the tank, the fuel lines, and at least draining the fuel filters. Even if a little gasoline remains in the fuel system somehwere it will get mixed with the diesel to the point of no damage. Also, I'm not sure exactly what year model Chevy started it, but in 1992 and on Ford installed low pressure sensors in the fuel filter block so the fuel pump will simply shut down preventing damage. to diesel engines for this very reason AND for the natural condensation factor during cold temperature conditions. Hope this helps answer your question, but you'd probably feel better by taking this information and doing research on your exact model to ensure accuracy. Once you get it running let's tie up with my 7.3L powerstorke and have some fun... I'm just messing around with ya there. I AM a Ford fan, but I also appreciate Chevy and Dodge as well. Made In USA! At least they're assembled here anyway... LOL!! Good Luck, my cyber-friend.

If you filled it with more than a couple of gallons, you will need to drain the fuel tank and fill it up with unleaded fuel.

What happens when you put regular gas into a Chevy silverado diesel trucks?
DO NOT put gasoline into a Diesel Engine... EVER. Gasoline engines work on the principle of Combustion caused by compressing gasoline and oxygen and then adding a spark to cause a controlled explosion called "Combustion" Diesel engines do not use a spark to ignite the fuel. Diesel fuel will combust on its own when under pressure and heat. The Glow Plugs in your engine provide the initial heat to start the combustion process, but once the Engine is started, the glow plugs shut off and it is just a process of Heat generated by the previous "explosion" and the compression of the fuel and oxygen. If you put gasoline into a Diesel engine, it will not start, and if by chance it did, The thermal (explosive) properties of gasoline are very different from a Diesel fuel and you would probably destroy the engine. If you have put only a small amount, say a quart or so, your worries are small. Fill the tank the rest of the way with diesel and run it. A small amount of gasoline will not hurt a diesel engine. In fact, the US Army, back when the engines were diesel and not multifuel, typically had the practice of adding a quart to a gallon of gasoline to diesel truck tanks in the winter to prevent foaming. If you have filled the tank with gasoline, however, do not turn the engine over. Drain the tank and refill it with diesel.

What do you do if you put gasoline in a Chevy diesel pickup?
One or two gallons of gasoline to a tank of fuel won't hurt your diesel, but if you filled it up with gasoline you MUST get it all out. That may involve removing the fuel tank to drain it. You could just disconnect the fuel line at some convenient point, siphon everything out that you can get, then re-connect the fuel line. Drain everything out that you can get, as close as possible to the injectors, then attempt to start the engine, but recognize that there is some risk involved. You may need to use some starting fluid even though the manufacturer recommends against it. After you once get it started the remaining gasoline should work through quickly and if you don't destroy the engine in the process everything should be ok. Otherwise, take it to a diesel mechanic to have the gasoline bled out professionally.
