depends on how much diesel was in the tank and how far he drove it. a small percentage of gas prob wont hurt too much if not driven too far.

but my lovely #3 daughter filled my 74 240 with newly rebuilt motor up with rug on a half tank of diesel and drove about two hours before it wouldnt go any further. scored cylinders, cracked head.

they run too hot on gasoline.
