It won't really hurt the engine.... unless you run it long term... Unfortunately you can't burn diesel well in a petrol engine.... It will smoke alot and miss and have weak power... best thing to do if it was accidental is to top it off with petrol... and when it is half tank... top it off again.... then change the fuel filter.
Another idea is to add a double dose of octane booster.... it should help with the smoking and missing
