Siphon it all out. Petrol (Gas) and diesel mix incredibly well so it is impossible to siphon off just the petrol, you need to remove the whole lot and then full it up with diesel.
Depending on how old the car/truck is, it will respond differently to having petrol go through it. Newer direct injection/common rail/turbo diesels will not like having petrol run through them at all, and might mean replacing both the high and low pressure pumps(Diesel acts as a lubricant for these and when petrol is run through them it washes all the lube away) and the turbo etc. Older diesels might get away with running a bit of petrol through them, but again it is recommended removing all the petrol and just putting diesel in.
Even putting a small amount of petrol in a diesel tank will dilute the lubricating power of diesel and may damage parts.

In short, when you put petrol in a diesel, grab yourself some hose and siphon it all out!

How do we know if our Chevy g25 van is gas or diesel?

Answer There is no mistaking the sound a Diesel motor makes in comparision to a gas motor. If you listen to the motor and still don't know, go look at the tail pipe. On a car or truck motor the tail pipe is about 1 inch in diameter, but on a Diesel motor the tail pipe is about 2 inches around. Gas motors run quiet, on the other hand Diesel motors sound loud and clickety clank. Hope you understand. If not go to any gas station they will tell you what motor you have.
