I put 8 gallon of biodiesel fuel in my ford f250 superduty truck before I realized I
put it in the wrong tank. I put it in the fuel tank instead of the biotank . I don't
know what else to call that tank I didn't get 100 ft before the truck shut off!!!! I
keep reading that you can run biodiesel straight in your truck. Help!

i think i said it wrong , im finding out it must be DEF, Its a disel truck when you open the tank there are two slots , one for the diesel fuel and the other for some kind of additive, not sure what its called but at the gas station we goofed up and put it in the diesel tank instead of the additive tank and the truck wont run

If you put DEF in the fuel tank you essentially put 8 gallons of urine in the tank. You will need to drain the fuel tank and flush out the fuel lines.

Yeah forget the biodiesel stuff that i said. There are 2 caps when you open up to fuel up.... one for diesel fuel and one for DEF. So I goofed up and put 8 gallons of DEF in the cap where diesel fuel goes. Truck won't start

Just so you know DEF is not fuel, it is an emissions additive that is mostly urea.

Bye bye to your pump i wanna say cp3 pump but thats shitvrolet but does same function. The pump in the tank is called a lift pump and then to injection pump, cow piss is very corrosive. You may have severely damaged engine and NOT covered in warranties. Expect to pay ALOT as ford power smokes are a bitch to work on and parts are ridiculous priced.
