Drain out the petrol and replace it with diesel. Empty the fuel filter bowl and dry the element. Refill with fresh diesel. Prime the injectors (if not self priming). Turm the ignition on and off a couple of times to get the glow plugs good and hot. Crank the engine with just a touch of accelerator. It will start rough then smooth out. Modern diesel engines have catalytic converters that can get damaged/compromised by running on petrol. Provided you have not run it for more than a couple of minutes there is a good chance you will get away with it.
