What damage this would cause to the engine? Car has not been driven since it made it home from the gas station about 1 mile out. Incident happened two days ago.
Can this be fixed at home with proper tool? How can it be done?
Recommendation of where to fix this problem?
Approx cost of such repair?

Did you fill with diesel instead of gas?
If so car and engine should be fine
Have to drain the tank and clean
before you start the engine again and replace the fuel filter
