My wife put diesel fuel in my 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander and went a few miles before calling me. We turned it off and have to call for it to be towed and fuel drained. How much trouble $$& am I in for?

That will be answered when you go to retrieve the vehicle . No one here knows what the shop will charge and your location and the type of shop all make a difference.

I charge 2 hours of labor to remove diesel fuel from the fuel tank of a gasoline vehicle. Sometimes the spark plug become fouled and need to be replaced but not often.

I have seen some of my coworkers charge 8 hours of labor to drain a tank, I don’t think location has anything to do with it, they are less than 100 feet away from me.
