So you put diesel in a petrol? No biggie, drain as much as you can and fill with fresh petrol. It will smoke for a while and clean the carbon buildup out of the engine but that's about it.

As SeaComms said, if it's diesel in a petrol vehicle then it's not such a great problem. Dropping the tank out of a TJ isn't real hard, you can do it easily in your driveway.

Drain it as much as possible, re-fill with premium or normal unleaded but stay away from E10 until the newly filled tank is empty.

It seems that OP has put in petrol, not diesel.

But later he said it's a 2004 jeep wrangler TJ. So unless it's had an engine transplant somewhere along the line...
