Diesel in gasser Gator 825i

[D60]

I didn't do it but this Gator was filled with diesel and I believe they tried to start it.

Looks like the tank is under driver seat and I think it'll be easy to remove and drain.

Other thoughts? Should I pull plugs and maybe crank it a bit to blow out cylinders?

Its funny, I did this today trying to troubleshoot a fuel pump issue.
12v pump with a battery, drain into a 5 gallon bucket.
I think your plan of removing the plugs, crank it awhile to blow the rest out.
Change fuel filters.
I bet it will run fine, smoking a bit of course for a short while.

Seems like a very good idea to me.

Ok well I dunno how other guys would do it, but I pulled the tank (PITA) and poured out every bit I could. I was then able to tip it, see in the fill hole and mop out any remainder with long pliers and a shop towels.

Then I sloshed some gas in there and repeated. I reinstalled the tank and disconnected the fuel filter before the fuel rail and let the pump prime, flushing gas through the supply line and filter. Red diesel was used which was nice because I could see the flow go red to clear.

Then I pulled the plugs and cranked, but nothing visible came out.

Then I put it back together and had to crank forever but it finally fired and now runs fine.
