How pissed off would you be? What exactly happens to your engine if you pump diesel through it instead of regular and how bad is it to fix?

It was a horrible mix-up for some drivers in Ontario as a service station pumped diesel fuel instead of gasoline, which caused multiple cars to be damaged.

It'll just run terribly for a little while then quit running for the most part. Gotta siphon the tank and run gas back through the lines. It's nowhere near as bad as gas in a diesel engine.
