I have an 85 gallon tank whic

I have an 85 gallon tank which is full but contains 5-8 gallons of diesel accidentally added during filling. The engine is a 120hp 4-cylinder Force two-cycle.

Do I...

1 Remove all the fuel and start again?
2 Pump out the bottom of the tank because the diesel sinks to the bottom?
3 Run the fuel through the engine adding additional gas to dilute the diesel?

Any thoughts appreciated!

" I would burn the tank through and with your next tank, add a couple bottles of engine-cleaning additive to get rid of any diposits left on the injectors and/or valves and combustion chamber. "
