In small amounts diesel will not affect operation, but eventually as the mixture becomes more diesel than gas it will not burn in a gasoline car, and will damage a diesel vehicle.

If you have mixed more than 5% diesel with your gas you should probably drain and start over to avoid damage.

What happens if you put diesel fuel in a Toyota Tundra that uses regular gas?

It will not run if your put in lots of diesel. Even if it did run there will be no real damage. Normally (if it hasn't been running on a diesel/gas mix for very long ) all you have to do is drain and clean the tank, and replace the fuel filter. If it has been running on the mix it may have caused fuel system problems, like clogged injectors.
