for the small length of time you ran it i doubt anything bad happend, although there are somethings that need to be carefully inspected.
it would be in your best intrest to check your sparkplugs and make sure that the detonation of paint thinner didn't foul the plugs, also inspect all lines and your gas tank for any leaks caused by the highly corrosive nature of paint thinner.
as for your fuel filter, its a simple swap to a new one (comparable to a oil filter) except under pressure. hope that helps

Originally posted by GreenMadnessfubar nicely means F'd up. but actually other than corosive properties of paint thinner it does have the same properties as gasoline. i.e. the flammability limits are in place and it will burn and produce power, the only problem is that it may prematurly detonate or combust to late robbing your engine of power.

Keep adding gas if it still runs, Every gas station you pass if your still driving it you should add more. This will make the ratio or gas to thinner lower and lower tell its so low it dosnt matter. Whatever damage is done was done already. If you cant empty the tank then "thin" out the thinner as best you can and THEN start replacing fuel filters and keep working your way up to more expencive parts untell the problem is fixed. Otherwise your just exposing any replacement parts to the issue that caused the original to fail.
Most fuel filters you can just remove and blow on one end... if you can get air thru you know its not cloged... I dont know the chemical makeup of the paint thinner added to your gas but it might not be as bad for the system as you might think.. the bad part would be what it has knocked loose so to speak. It might react with sealents in the gas tank or injectors and send that stuff thru the motor. -=[I cant Slam further. The ground refuses to get any lower.
