Don't run the engine any more. contact the dealership as you may need to clean out the fuel filter, carb and drain the tank BUT not as bad as doing it the other way around.

Diesel into a petrol car definitely means cleaning tank, filters,carb and engine.

If it is only a small amount you may be able to top up with diesel and run mixture through but filter may still be damaged.

Get quotes for work though as you can drain some petrol tanks and then refill with diesel and afterwards change the fuel filter if damaged.

Consider also any warranty you may have that could be invalid if not done by main dealer.

Good luck.
