It sounds like your hard work paid off!

A few years ago I bought an ex company car (Peugeot 406 diesel) with the complete service history on a print out which showed that the previous user had twice put petrol in and twice the whole fuel system had been changed at a massive cost.

As far as I know, putting diesel in a petrol just causes loads of smoke until the engine stops, then after everything is flushed out its all ok again.
