With a quarter tank of gas, my wife filled it with diesel. Does the tank have drain plug. If not can I drive the car 12 miles to mechanic?

Don’t know it it has a drain plug but do not drive it. How did she manage to put diesel in a gas tank?

There should be a drain plug. Here’s more information: [https://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/128685-best-way-to-drain-fuel-tank/](https://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/128685-best-way-to-drain-fuel-tank/) Do **not** drive it.
