Default Help please ,petrol into diesel

My car => C200 CDI Classic AUTO SE (2003)
Hi,
After driving diesels for years I finally
made the dire mistake of putting in unleaded.
The tank was pretty near empty & I put 11 litres
of unleaded in. I drove home (1/2 a mile) in
ignorance & about an hour later I went to go
out again. It started as usual but then the revs
dipped very briefly. The engine never does anything
but purr like a kitten at idle so it got my
attention - and suddenly I realised what I'd done.
Needless to say I switched it off & it's been like
that since.
I'd be very grateful for any advice. Please
bear in mind I am no mechanic.
Cheers
Tris

I heard from a mechanic long time ago about this incident. I don't remember well, but what I can clearly remember is it was not a small job. You pretty much have to replace many parts that gas goes through?
I think you need to get it towed to your mechanic and get it inspected.

I hope those guys here better than I am will help you.

Good luck.
