Best Answer

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.
