Paul:  As long as we are on burning kerosene, I have a question.  Last week
my wife wanted to treat me real nice and had the car washed at the local
wash/petro site.  She further thought it would be good to fill the car, so
put in 8 gallons of gasoline into the diesel auto.  What happened next was
that car started, and knocked quite a bit as if running very lean.  She ran
it for 15 miles and returned.  The next morning it would not start.  It was
only then that I got the possible confession of gasoline in the diesel.

What are my options??

Gee I don't know. I know nothing about what happens when you run gasoline 
in a diesel engine. I would guess sever damage.
Have you tried draining the system and filling up with diesel fuel?
