No harm? Did you pull the fuel tank and drain it?
There has been several reports of people doing that and blowing their brand new Ford diesels up to the tune of 10-15 thousand dollars. No way in heck I would drive it one foot without completely draining the fuel system and starting over if I had done that.
I uncoupled a hose at the fuel filter and pumped the contaminated diesel into a barrel. Just to be certain, I did remove the fuel tank - it's actually a pretty simple little task - and flushed the low pressure side of the fuel system. There was next to nothing in the tank after pumping it out - less than 2 quarts and only about a tablespoon of DEF in that bit of fuel. I think the water seperator would have caught it. The DEF sinks to the bottom of the tank so I pumped the fuel from the barrel into my Duramax and just lost a couple gallons in the bottom of the barrel.
