2006 Questions for all other cars

Will gas harm a diesel engine?
I have drained the gas and plan to change the fuel filter, but will there be any long-term damage?
Thanks

Hi Polar Bear 568,

A minimal amount is not a problem and can in fact help to clean up the system.

If you did not damage the engine, there should not be any long term effects.
