Purchase 10-20 gallons and pour the diesel fuel into your tank via the fill pipe located outside your house (unless it is an outdoor tank then the fill is typically right on the tank)

Doing so could result in injury and/or death as well as cause damage to equipment or personal property.
If you have already run out of fuel, follow these instructions:
