you have to drain the tank and clean the injectors, that is if they are not ruined.

Yes - you may have to do the things that the others have mentioned - and, you may not - especially if you have not driven far.

It is still going to take some work and is not for the "mechanically challenged" !!!

The following are based on the asumption that you have a new enough car that it has electronically controlled fuel injection with multiple injectors. A different setup will require a modified approach.

Drain the tank & refill with regular gas.

Change the fuel filter.

Flush the fuel line with the gas by disconnecting it at the engine side and "bumping" the ignition switch just long enough to flush a quart or so into a bucket. Do not turn the key enough to engage the starter motor. Attach a hose to the disconnected end of the fuel line first to guide the fuel into the bucket and not all over the engine. Use a metal bucket and neoprene (gasoline safe) hose and a helper if you can.

Reattach the fuel line.

Turn the ignition switch to the on position (do not engage the starter) which will cause the fuel pump to pressurize the system. Check for leaks. Shut off the ignition switch.

Vent the injector line. Ususally this is done by uncovering the Schraeder valve (looks like a tire valve) at one end of the fuel manifold and depressing the pin in the center. Do this with a small tool and cover it to shield yourself from the spray. Repressurize the system and vent again. Do not leave the switch on while venting since there is a chance that a spark could ignite the fuel!

Remove the air intake hose at the throttle body. Spray some engine starting fluid (either) into the throttle body. A one to two second spray is enough - no more! Blow some air into the throttle body (gently) and reattach the intake hose.

Wipe up any spilled fuel from engine, manifold and surrounding areas.

Attempt to start the engine. It may take several trys. Do not crank engine for more than 30 seconds each time and wait at least 10 minutes before trying again (to prevent burning out starter motor)
If you can get it started, you may get away without doing more work.

If this doesn't work after two or three tries, then pull each spark plug and spray one-half second of starting fluid in each. Gently blow some air into each and reinsert plug. Reattach wire. Do next plug. When all have been so "primed" attempt to start the engine. Assuming that there are no other problems (just the fuel) It should at least fire some and should kick over enough to start. Again, do not crank the starter more than 30 seconds on and 10 minutes off.

Fresh gasoline will absorb some of the diesel that remains in the system, raising the octane rating of the gasoline - that's why you use regular for this operation. If you live where it is cold, try to get the freshest gasoline that you can. Fresh gasoline this time of year is called "winter gas" because it doesn't have the smog preventitives added to it and is therefore a little bit more volatile - a good thing in your case.

If you can get the engine to start, then run it for half an hour or so at idle. If it runs this long, then take it for a drive. Observe the guages and the "idiot" lights - especially the "engine trouble" signal. If it lights and stays on for several days of driving, and a second new tank of fuel, then you might have to have one or more sensors serviced.

Hope that this has been of some help.

jack the rear of the viehicle up follow the the two plastic pipes(fuel
lines) the metal ones are brake pipes and disconnect them from the fuel tank
the problem that you will have is if you have filled the tank then you are looking at draining about fifty litres plus of fuel from the tank so you need some big containers to store the fuel
you should really callout a road side assistance and let them deal
with this problem or get it towed to a garage and let them drain
the tank a s the diesel as gone all the way through the fuel system to the cylinders so the whole system needs draining
BIG JOB
but if you do tackle this job yourself drain down the tank leave the fuel pipes disconnected and hang them over a container and gravity will do the rest, leave for about 1-2 hours then reconnect
the fuel lines to the tank put fresh fuel into the tank and crank the car over with the spark plugs removed get somebody to help
you when you smell the petrol put the plugs back in reconnect
the plug leads dont forget to number the leads left to right 1,2,3,4
so you know which cylinder they are off
crank the car and it should start remember when cranking the car
do it in short bursts

Drain the fuel tank and lines, clean the injectors and fuel system, replace the spark plugs, then run it on a computer and see how many of the emissions sensors you have to replace. My brother-in-law spent a couple thousand when he did this in his Ford pickup.

If their is a removeable fitting on the bottom of your fuel tank drain it. If not the tank must br removed and emptied Blow out as much fuel line comming into your carb. ir injectors.Sir: you have not damaged youe motor whatsoever. Your "in the clear".
