Fuel pumps will have a more difficult time delivering a diesel/gasoline blend throughout the system because diesel fuel is thicker and denser than gasoline. The diesel will also have a difficult time getting through the fuel filter, aside from that. As a result, it will clog the gasoline filter, preventing it from performing its function effectively. Aside from that, any diesel that makes its way into the engine will block the fuel injectors, rendering them useless as a result of the clogging.

As a result, the engine will become blocked and will eventually seize up completely. While it is possible for the gasoline engine to continue to run for a short length of time after the diesel has been put into the tank, this is simply due to the gasoline in the fuel line still being used by the engine during this period.

Despite how horrible the situation appears to be, the alternative position – putting gasoline into a diesel tank – would be even more dangerous. Because of the greater combustion potential of gasoline, it would ignite much more quickly than diesel fuel. The early ignition and volatility of the diesel engine and its components have the potential to cause catastrophic harm to them.

When you realize that you have mistakenly filled your gas tank with diesel fuel, you must take urgent action. It is not a good idea to use gas that has been sitting about for a long period. 

Above all, do not turn on the ignition or start the vehicle under any circumstances. You’ll want to get your vehicle towed to a garage as soon as possible so that it can be drained. Attempting to start the vehicle may result in diesel fuel being introduced into the fuel line and engine system, making the repair process significantly more involved and expensive.
