Accidently put gas in my tank
I put about 4.10 gallons of 85 octane gas in my tank before catching the mistake. After spending an hour trying to figure out how to get the gas out, I finally just said **** it. I just filled the rest of the tank with diesel fuel (36 gallons) and drove home. Should I be worried that there are 4 gallons of gasoline in the tank?

I wouldnt worry too much about 4 gal, Ive heard all kinds of stories about truckers adding unleaded to diesel in the winter to prevent gelling and people mix diesel, gas and motoroil to make something called "black diesel." I would throw some two-stroke oil in there for safe measures to counteract the gas but you should be fine as long as you arnt hot-rodding it or towing heavy.

let me guess you have no pyrometer as well?
If you did I would watch the pyro...it will probably run hot till all the gasoline is out of the tank. sometimes you will even see fire come out the tailpipe.
truckers used to add gas every once in a while to their tanks to "clean things out" basically makes the engine run very hot and a lot of times they would be putting fire out of the stacks from it. but it helps burn off the excess soot build up.
