Exxon diesel mixed with gas

Just thought ya'll might like reading something that happened yesterday. I was on 4 miles to empty so I pulled over at Exxon. After pumping $58 in Diesel I crancked her up and was on my way. I noticed after pulling back onto the freeway that my '03 sounder louder that my old '95. About every 10 seconds she would studder and spit out grey smoke. I pulled over and drained out a little fuel and bled the fuel lines thinking that I had picked up some water or some air since I ran it so low. Later I changed the fuel filter and still no help. So I took it to a dealer in Fort Worth for a diagnosis and the mechanic came back to tell me that the tank was about half full of unleaded. I called and got the managers # at the Exxon and she called the regional manager who said that they had no more complaints and that he would get the tanks checked on Monday. So anyway, I drained the tank and now have 30 gallons of mixed fuel all in buckets in the garage. I am hoping that Exxon will pay the $500+ dollars that the dealer wanted to drop the tank and all of the other little fees that have occured because of this. So if any of ya'll are in Weatherford TX on Hwy 51 & I20 I would not recomed getting fuel there.
