I did that recently. 1/2 a tank of petrol on 1/2 tank of diesel, same symptoms. Ran for about 10 miles (while the fuels mixed?) then started what felt like a misfire. When I turned off the engine it wouldn't restart. Sinking feeling...…
Smell the fuel filler tube. Petrol has a distinctively different smell which you would notice. So it may be possible. I filled up at my usual station, on my usual pump. They had just reopened after a refurb and had made all the pumps Shell Nitro...….including the petrol! Just grabbed the Nitro hose and filled away!
Wasn't terminal but by God it was expensive!
