          with some diesels a tenners worth of jungle juice an then a load more diesel can still drive fine.
          i have done it once with a smiley front transit although the diesel pumps on them are stronger than a lesbian arm wrestler

          safest thing is drop the lot and chuck the right stuff in.

                well from my experience it will go but a lot depends on the motor and pump,a lot of modern ones shit themselves without doing many miles where as say a 20 year old transit pump could do half a million miles,the 01 onwards transits won't do anything like that.
                i also found a slight difference in performance having put petrol in a diesel but with a load more diesel than petrol he stands a reasonable chance of getting away with it,if it does struggle don't keep going in it or it will fook up,take it nice and easy
