My daughter accidentally put .2 of a gallon of diesel in my Escalade she realized what she did and switch to regular gasoline and put eight gallons of regular gas in and drove home about twenty miles. she said the truck drove fine no problems. the gas gauge read half a tank. do I need to worry?

Good afternoon,

What kind of fuel did she add that you thought was wrong?

Please give me as much information as possible.
