2 and 1/2 gallons
Once we realized what I did, we drained most of the tank and then added 10 gallons of diesel. We changed the filter and it still wont start.

Oh. I just read more of the fact sheet and this stuff is supposed to be injected into the exhaust stream before the catalytic.

It is proberbly in the injectors and pump, I would back off all the injectors and bleed the system at the injectors, (cranking in short bursts) to remove this from the system, try this.
