mom filled her chevy astrovan with diesel once. she drove it home on the gas in the line and while it was warmed up. The next day we were able to get it to start and run very very badly. It would not drive we drained the tank and filled it with gas, after a while of cranking and barely running. We got it to run once the diesel was out of or diluted in the systems.

A jet engine running Jet A (diesel more or less) uses a spark plug to ignite the fuel charge in the hot section during starting.
