This maybe happens every once in awhile somewhere in the world and today it happened to her. I won't go into detail of how it happened but as she drove away from the gas station, she got about a mile down the road when it started to decrease in speed and eventually turned off.
Went down there and siphoned the diesel out (3 gallons were left inside) and replaced the spark plugs (needed replacing anyways). poured 5 gallons of gas inside and tried to start.
It was this high pitch sound that slowly died out. Didn't even get it to turn over. And for some reason her lights won't come on anymore. It's like it has a dead battery. Which, could be the case as well because of how long the emergency lights were on, but we tried to jumpstart it and it didn't get charge.
I know I may need to drain the fuel lines out and this time drain the entire tank and fill it with regular gas. I may have to replace the fuel filter as well, but what else do you guys recommend. I need to get it fixed TODAY so she doesn't have to face her stepdad. (long story).
Any help or advice is greatly greatly appreciated. I will be working on the car today and will check back here to read your suggestions and reply back to any questions.
