Take a sample out and check following;
Colour - Petrol is almost clear, diesel is more yellowy
Smell - Diesel and Petrol both have distinctively different smells, only way is if you get a sample of either as a reference
Flash point - Petrol has a much lower flash point so will burn if ignited whereas diesel wont. If you take a very small sample and under safe and controlled circumstances try to ignite with a match if burns is petrol if not diesel
Hope this helps

How do you drain a Nissan Micra diesel tank?
oooh, put petrol in?? nice! You can either remove the tank and empty it by tipping it out of the filler neck, or you can siphen it, by doing this though you wont get all the fuel out. If you have put unleaded in, i suggest you take the tank off and make sure you get all the diesel out, although diesel isn't as harmful to a petrol system as petrol is to diesel. Make sure you fill the tank fully once you have refit the talk to dilute the remaining petrol as much as possible.

I always ran my Volkswagen diesel in the winter one gallon of petrol to a tank of fuel.

I had two cars and both ran for 100,000 giving me no engine problems so a small amount will not bother a tank full of diesel or the engine
