After you realize your mistake, you cannot start the engine. Driving more than a few kilometers will destroy the car and the subsequent correction might come up on some repairing charges. There is also the risk of fire. If you refuel your diesel engine with only a small amount of gasoline (about 1-5 liters, depending on the volume of the fuel tank), it is possible to salvage the situation. Diesel and gasoline are mixed in a ratio that will not harm the engine, and it is possible to leave up.

If you refuel wrong fuel for a larger car, it will not start in any case and it is necessary to call a towing service to tow the car to take them to a wrong fuel recovery service center. Here, the fuel tank will be cleaned. The price of fuel draining comes to around 99 pounds and the price for towering service is separately extra.
