Unleaded gas in diesel tank

The question is being glossed over IMHO. Assuming the unleaded gas is 10% ethanol combined, with a newer design engine and with likely two years plus of fuel onboard there is no upside.

Sure, I remember the good old days when gasoline was used as a diesel thinner for old or wrong season diesel fuel. Been there done that. That was yesterday's fuel and old engines. The OP has options. One is to listen to those of us who have no skin in the game, another is to assume risk with fingers crossed or lastly give the fuel away.

With the Canadian border closed, storing onboard and consuming the fuel over multi years of Puget Sound cruising seems an unattractive option.
I'm with you. But the OP did say it was a day tank. So maybe the fuel can be consumed quickly with additives as suggested. Take it easy for a day or two and it's gone.
 
I accidentally put about a liter of gasoline in the 70L fuel tank of my diesel Peugeot car, and saw no ill effects.
