Hi there and welcome to JA.COM, i will try to assist you with your problem, you must be very lucky, as normally the engine would run very rough and cut out, you must have had a lot of diesel already in your tank, you have 2 options really, first drain out the fuel and replace with diesel, or fill right up with diesel, you might have damaged your fuel pump or injectors, but if it is running ok i would top up till full, ideally have your fuel filter changed and maybe an injector cleaner/additive put in your tank, hope this helps, kindest regards martin.
