Hope it wasn't that cheap supermarket stuff................
I sense your family and friends will still cast that up to you in a year's time
I did that in Germany many years ago but realised what I had done. Went round the back of the services, emptied the tank down a drain and the filled up with petrol - yeah I know - what a twat emptying it down a drain!

I filled up a Sierra Cosworth with diesel once.........
syphoned it out into the ring-drain in the petrol station- with the amount of petrol in it, and the drain being partially blocked - I was envisaging someone passing with a cigarette and starting something akin to a Garth Brooks gig........
My cousin helpfully placed an ad in the local paper - for "Cosworth Diesel Conversions" - the Cnut.

Been there done that with an Audi A3, filled with Petrol instead of Diesel, like they say above you normally only do it once
I had some dopey bastard put petrol in a diesel hire car...it failed on the M4....and I mean just died...at 70. Happy days...
One of our guys did it on a GoldWing last year - Now that holds a lot of Diesel....

So out of interest what difference will cheap supermarket stuff make? Would premium or super grade diesel have made any difference?
Most friend call it a tractor ...... but they cant catch the bugger
We bumped into a chap on the way back from Assen.
He approached us a little shame faced and asked if we spoke English, it was his lucky day.
On long rides I pop this in the bottom of the pannier (Think the need for fuel in France on a Saturday afternoon)

Best £ 10 I have ever spent, didn't buy many beers on the Ferry.

You wont be the last,at least you can have a laugh at your own expense, I'm a tanker driver for a living and know several who have delivered 7600 litres of petrol down the derv tank or vice versa in error and have had to make the phone call of shame to the fuel company
I almost did that in Germany. the colour of the pump hose and trigger cover were different to other countrys, I think the petrol one was either black or blue instead of green like we have here. I used my nose to have a sniff of the end and used the petrol smelling one, don't know what octane, didn't really care as long as it wasn't diesel
