Help! Put a gallon of diesel in my Yaris! - Toyota Yaris Forums

A gallon to a full tank would probably be OK, but although it might not hurt the fuel system, it may damage the catalytic converter.

Yes your right, won't do much or damage engine compared to gas in diesel engine but...........it will most likely effect the cat by clogging it to some extent.

Had to go to the store to pick something up real quick. Noticed the acceleration was somewhat hesitant. I drive a stick. Especially 0 to 1, it's more stubborn... as if it needs an extra push.

I'm thinking of simply bringing it to the mechanic to have the tank drained. Roughly how much should that cost (just to ensure I'm not getting ripped off)?
