How much diesel was in the tank to start with? My missus did the same with our diesel, thankfully it was almost empty of diesel, and put about £30 of petrol in it. She drove home about 1/2 mile and got it on the drive before it conked out.
I had to take off the fuel tank outlet pipes, and siphon it off into containers. Took me about 2 weeks to burn that fuel off in my old Fazer! :eek Smoked a little bit too!
If I'm teaching you to suck eggs here, just tell me to shut up!
Drain the tank, change the fuel filter and pump fresh fuel through with the priming bulb. If the car won't start after 30 seconds of cranking on the starter, you might have to crack off an injector and get someone to turn the engine over until air bubbles stop coming out of the injector pipe. Tighten it up, start the engine, and go fill up with DIESEL!!!! It'll run a bit rough for a mile or so, but hopefully there won't be any damamge to the fuel injection pump.
Good luck!
