Experiences with engine damage for burning gasoline in a Kubota

Employee of ours filled tank on a sweet running Kubota 4200 (with 4200 hours) with gasoline. Ran for a while, most would just idle. AFter we now. Power is good. Perhaps new engine time. Our mechanic says they get 2 dozen calls a year for the same issue, but has not had one with any damage to engine components. Any suggestions?

You know, I just had an outside service call for that exact thing two days ago.

The tank, filter, injector pump, fuel pump lift pump, injectors etc all need to be flushed and bled off.

I've heard some old timers tell me a little gas added to the tank full of diesel fuel helps keep the diesel fresh and "hot".

I've attached a picture of the ONLY TRACTOR THAT YOU CAN ADD GASOLINE TO THE DIESEL FUEL. IF YOU HAVE THIS MODEL, ADD ALL THE GAS YOU WANT.

In my opinion, long term it won't hurt your Kubota because it won't run long enough to damage anything.
