OK, seen this before. If you filled it with reg. gas, and you didn't get far before it died on you, drop the gas tank, drain it out completely. Then release the fuel pressure on the fuel rail, remove your old fuel filter, replace it and put diesel in your gas tank after you reinstall the tank. Try and start the truck to prime the lines and , release the fuel pressure on the fuel lines, keep priming it and releiveing it until all the gas is out of the line and check to see if you smell a strong odor of diesel coming out of the lines after priming it and relieving it if you get that, then you should be good to go. This has happend to alot of folks not paying attention to the hose they grab at the pumps. If you didn't get very far down the road, I think you are ok, Seen this before, no engine damage either. Oh, to keep priming the lines, you have to keep trying to start the truck then release the fuel pressure at the little air valve thing on the fuel rail or near the fuel filter under the hood. Just go back and forth doing this until you get diesel coming out of the engine with a pretty good odor to it, with a less regular gas smell. Make sure you change your oil too, cause you don't want that regular gas to have seeped into the engine. Good Luck. I hope this works for you.

Can 20 gallons of diesel fuel mixed with 5 gallons of unleaded gasoline be filtered or treated so that it can be used in a diesel engine?

No, mixing diesel fuel with unleaded gasoline is not advisable for use in a diesel engine. Diesel engines are designed to run on diesel fuel, which has different properties and combustion characteristics than gasoline. Filtering or treating the mixture would not effectively separate the two fuels or make the gasoline safe for diesel engine use. Using this mixture could lead to engine damage and performance issues.
