From my experiance diesel in a gas truck or gas in a diesel doesn't just kill the truck or cost thousands to fix like auto dealers like you to believe. Out of probably a dozen pickups that have had the wrong fuel put in them all I have ever had done was draining the fuel tank of the wrong fuel and refilling with the right fuel. If the mistake was caught after only pumping a few gallons the tank is just filled the rest of the way with the right fuel and kept full for a few 1000 miles to dilute the wrong fuel as much as possible.
I deal with this at least once a summer.
We used to get these at the Ford dealership simi frequently. Seems like they were mostly company vans/trucks. The thing that sucked was the 40 gallon tank would be full of the wrong stuff, so you had to find a place to store 40 gallons of contaminated fuel, then pull the tank and clean. Never did any damage that I can remember, but those were the 7.3/6.0 diesel days, long before the sensitive Bosch fuel pump.
