Diesel fuel lubricates the high-pressure fuel pump and injectors. Gasoline lacks the same level of lubrication you'll find in diesel fuel. If you accidentally place gasoline in your diesel truck, don't panic. Bring your truck to GMC of Vacaville for service. It's best if you don't start it after the mistake happens. If you do, make sure you know how much gas was placed in the vehicle, and if you notice a hard idling or any other issues you didn't experience before.
