If you've added gasoline to your power steering, then you have likely already done some damage but obviously you have to get it out of there and flushed thoroughly. Such the fluid out with something, refill, run the engine, turn the wheels, repeat the whole process. Do this until you have run a couple quarts of PS fluid through it.
