Diesel in my petrol T25 - What a F*@k up!

I'm so used to filling up my other vans with diesel that late last night I accidently stuck £20 of diesel in my petrol 2.1i.

Am I right in thinking all I should do is:

- Drain tank
- Clear out petrol line
- Change petol filter and maybe spark plugs?

Is there anything else I'm missing or should be doing? Not understanding why it wasnt working I kept trying to start it for about 5mn until the penny dropped, hope I aint done any damage...

At least it wasnt petrol in my beloved diesel van!

Drain it and flush through the lines and replace the filter. Don't leave it till the weekend Diesel is not compatable with the injection seals.
