The other day 1/4 of a gallon of diesle was put into my trucks gas tank along with 4 gallons of gas. I was informed of this after the fact and I had driven the vehicle. Is this going to kill my truck? Its a little Toyota with over 200k.should I drain the rest of the tank or add something to flush the fuel system? What will this do to my vehicle?

Probably OK with that little. If running OK now just burn that out. You may want to add a few ounces of my fav Chevron's Techron and when this proves it's still fine toss the fuel filter perhaps not intended for diesel.
It shouldn't kill the engine IMO but could (slight chance) foul up plugs. If real worried drain fuel tank now, fill it full and dilution rate would be pretty dang low.
Others have filled whole tanks and survived it but vehicle quit running completely and needed cleaning out anything to do with fuel and were fine,
