What would happen if you put diesel instead of gasoline into a lawnmower?

The lawn mower won't run. And if you try to start it, it will distribute the diesel throughout the mower's fuel system. Then the fuel system will have to be emptied and flushed out so "regular" gasoline can be put in the tank and the mower can be started and operated as it was designed to be. This isn't an "impossible" task, but it's a little tedious. The individual who does it would be advised to work safely, and in a well-ventilated area.
