I accidentally poured a pint of power steering fliud with a a pint of stp gas treatment, in the fuel tank and filled up the tank with prem gas. I drove about ten miles and realized what i did. Question is; will this cause damage to the engine or gas pump if I continue to drive on this? should i drain tank and start over?

What are we talking here 1 pint to about 18 gallons of gas? should be ok, at worst it may hurt the oxygen sensor, but at that mileage you are due for a fresh one anyway
