Help: fruit punch in fuel tank

They tossed the can in the back of the truck. some ran down the side and and there was a small amount under the truck, and red all around the filler tube. stuck a rag down inside and it came out red. I would say at the most maybe 8oz. might have made it inside. they dumped brown sugar into a car on the other side of town. and smashed up cookies in one and washed it down inside with a can of lemon aid.
I don't think it will hurt but I wouldn't take the chance. Besides your injectors are the hardest of all to change and all are stupid expensive...
I might just be over protective of my truck, but a cheap pump (oil pump for a deep fryer for example) from walmart and a fresh tank if fuel is cheap insurance.

I haven't even started it up yet once I saw what had happened. I think I might pump it into my large 65 gal tank and run it through that it has the large filter on it then pump it back in.
Jeez louise.... We're talking about 70-100 bucks worth of risky fuel vs thousands in injectors and CP3s and filters. Drop the tank and sleep comfortably that night. This is a no brainer IMO.
Well the first $500.00 comes out of my pocket any how!!!! So it's much cheaper to do it myself were it is at, so my Saturday will be spent trying get this mess cleaned up and/or out. thanks everyone for your help.
