Fuel filter will plug up.
The main thing that happens when there is water in diesel fuel is that it will burn poorly or maybe not even at all. It will also sink to the bottom of the fuel tank.
It will do damage to a diesel engine. Drain the tank and flush the fuel lines. Do not run this engine with unleaded gasoline in the tank.
it goes bo bo ba booom
It will swell and burst

Then you get the tank dropped and drain it out, replace the fuel filter(s), and flush the fuel system. Other than that, nothing actually happens - the diesel fuel won't ignite.
You have to change all injectors,HP fuel pump, all lines/hoses and HP rail. remove fuel tank(s) and steam out,replace filters .. dealer poured DEF into my diesel tank and truck wont run ... wont build fuel pressure. Happy $20,000 bill ..... :(
No. Do not put unleaded gas in a diesel tank.
Diesel engines have a much higher compression ratio than gasoline engines. Therefore, you need to drain all the fuel you can out of your tank and fill it with diesel. Gas in a diesel engine will go boom, and destroy your engine.
You can put petrol (UK spelling) into a diesel container (can) provided the container is empty. It is best not to, though, in case you later empty the petrol into a diesel vehicle's tank by mistake - which could happen if the container happens to be marked diesel on the outside of the container.
