no, a small amount of gas will not hurt a diesel motor. in fact ,before all the diesel supplements were available, truckers would use some gas in their fuel in the winter to remove moisture,and to stop the fuel gelling. also used sometimes to boost power a little. gasoline also cleans injectors

What happens if you accidentlly put a small amount diesel into a petrol car?
Depends how much, If it is less than 20% of the total fuel capacity then fill it up with gas and run it. It will smoke quite a bit but should be OK. Diesel has more lubricity than gas which should not hurt the fuel system. You might want to syphon out the diesel mixture best you can if it won't run any good. Running it should not hurt the injectors or to much just don't work the engine to hard as it may operate at a higher temperature. If it does run hotter then stop and you will have to clean out the diesel somehow. Running it to hot could result in engine damage.

What happens when you put regular gas into a Chevy silverado diesel trucks?
DO NOT put gasoline into a Diesel Engine... EVER. Gasoline engines work on the principle of Combustion caused by compressing gasoline and oxygen and then adding a spark to cause a controlled explosion called "Combustion" Diesel engines do not use a spark to ignite the fuel. Diesel fuel will combust on its own when under pressure and heat. The Glow Plugs in your engine provide the initial heat to start the combustion process, but once the Engine is started, the glow plugs shut off and it is just a process of Heat generated by the previous "explosion" and the compression of the fuel and oxygen. If you put gasoline into a Diesel engine, it will not start, and if by chance it did, The thermal (explosive) properties of gasoline are very different from a Diesel fuel and you would probably destroy the engine. If you have put only a small amount, say a quart or so, your worries are small. Fill the tank the rest of the way with diesel and run it. A small amount of gasoline will not hurt a diesel engine. In fact, the US Army, back when the engines were diesel and not multifuel, typically had the practice of adding a quart to a gallon of gasoline to diesel truck tanks in the winter to prevent foaming. If you have filled the tank with gasoline, however, do not turn the engine over. Drain the tank and refill it with diesel.
