My wife did this to her 300D several years ago. Fortunately she made it home before the engine quit. I jacked up the left front side of the vehicle and used a siphon hose to get as much fuel as possible out of the tank. I then removed the fuel filter, dumped out the gasoline and refilled with diesel. The engine fired right up with no apparent problems. I had called the dealership before doing this and was told there was nothing to worry about. The biggest problem is getting enough containers to hold the tainted gasoline and then properly disposing of it.
