First of all you should flush it out. Then fill the system with pure water (only water). Do not overfill and do not drive the car. Start the engine and run it couple minutes. Then wait while the engine is cooling down. After that flush the water off the engine. And repeat the same at least 2 times. Be careful, don't forget to wait before flushing water.

∙ 15y agoA small amount should not matter too much. However if a large amount entered the engine, it might be best to drain the oil (and the filter) and refill the engine with new oil, let the engine run awhile, then drain it (and change the filter) again, and refill.

∙ 9y agoas you will have almost certainly put in less than two pints of Power Steering fluid, if from a p/s bottle, ignore it, itll do no harm at all.. fill the engine to the correct level with fresh engine oil and itll soon mix up and become fully mixed with the engine oil... if youve put only power steering oil in the engine, simply drain it and refill with fresh sae 40/50 oil.. itll be fine once warm with correct oil in it.

∙ 13y agoIf your car has fuel injection (on almost all US vehicles sold after mid-80s), you've probably gotta drain the tank, because there's too much risk of damaging your fuel filter, injectors and other expensive fuel system parts.
If it's an older car with carburetors, you could probably get away with doing nothing (though I wouldn't do it with something like a Rolls-Royce or Ferrari). Most of those flushes are light petroleum solvents, which aren't that much different from gasoline.
Best advice: call the manufacturer of the engine oil flush and ask them. (I did, once, to ask whether I could use their product in a rotary (Mazda) engine. They said it probably wouldn't kill the engine, but they didn't recommend it.)
If you do drain the gasoline, use it to run your lawn mower for the next 10 years. Probably will do it a world of good.

How does a two gas tank system work?
okey you have two fuel tanks the between frame is like 15 gallons and the side rail is 25 ish gallons. There is a swith in the cab that selects front or rear the rear is your smaller tank. When the ttank is selected it tell the fuel guage how much fuel is in it. There is a electric valve in the framrail that has two fuel inlets and two fuel returns(one set per tank) then it has one set going to the engine. So whatever fuel tank is selected is which tank the engine pulls fuel from and returnes excess fuel to until you select your second tank. Hope this helped.

Sugar in the gas tank?
First off, it is a myth that sugar will ruin an engine. Sugar will not dissolve in gasoline. It may clog the fuel filter or possibly the injectors, but it will not ruin your engine. If very little sugar was poured into the tank, then just change the filter maybe a few times and drive on. If lots of sugar was added, you may need to remove the tank and flush it out, replace the filter, and flush the fuel lines.
