I own a Chevy Silverado HD Duramax Diesel. I had a 1/4 tank of diesel (~6-7 gaiions) in my tank.

I accidently filled it up with gasoline. It drove for about a block and the engine cut off. It got towed to a dealer to get looked at. Will my diesel truck ever work again?

It will work again, but it's probably not going to be cheap. Gasoline is a much better solvent than it is a lubricant and diesel fuel injection systems are very susceptable to a loss of lubrication. It's impossible to guess just how much damage may have occurred but any wear that happened in the high pressure pump would put debris downstream into the injectors leaving the pump and all of the injectors compromised. Add in the work to drain and clean the fuel tank, replace filters, and flush out the fuel rail and lines, you might want to see if your insurance will cover this.

Thank you Sir. The estimate given to me rough shod was $500 to $600 dollars. Thanks again for responding!

That's enough to drain the tank, discard the contaminated fuel, replace the filters and flush the high pressure pump and the fuel rails and lines. If you get away with just the this much consider yourself very lucky.
