Def in Fuel tank

[Zola]

Stupid me put 1 gallon of Def in fuel tank yesterday afternoon. Had 29 gallons diesel in the tank. Turned around truck in driveway. Engine only
Less than a minute before “water in fuel “ alert came on and I shut off engine. I know now not to turn on engine and have it towed only to a mechanic but It’s Sunday and all mechanics Are closed until Monday morning. Is there anything I can do
With additives while it sits in the driveway???

No. Snake oils will not help, only draining the tank. And pray it didn’t get past the water separator.

Water is heavier than fuel...could he siphon it out?

As mentioned above, hope it didn't get past both fuel filters. You want to drop the tank along with the fuel line cleaned out and flushed thoroughly. Considering replacing the lift pump assembly while the tank is out, DEF is corrosive to metals and it's possiblity going to fail. This might sound excessive but the CP4 HPFP and injectors cost a whole lot more if they're damaged by the DEF.
You might want to consider putting a cap on the fuel filler opening, being their usually green it's a good reminder that fuel goes in there.

Geno's Garage offers locking caps for the DEF along with the new style fuel fill necks:

Looks like Mopar offers a dust cover also:

Nice part about locking caps is it keeps any mischievous people from adding any unwanted additives to either tank.
