Ive just put 2 litres of perol in my diesel tank. i filled tank
right up with 70 litres of diesel in the hope that the petrol will
be on the top and i can syphon it off .

Advice please
been there, done that, ignored it.
the petrol will mix with the diesel and do nothing harmful as long
as its unleaded.

What's special with leaded petrol that would cause harm?


It would probably destroy the catalytic converter - just as it would in a
car with a petrol engine.

Never seen a diesel with a catalytic converter yet, apart from the odd bus.
