HOW TO DRAIN FUEL FROM THE TANK?
You must remove the fuel tank to drain it and then have the fuel filter replaced and the lines flushed out, this is not a do at home job.
SOURCE: remove fuel lines from tank (quick disconnect) 2006 f-250 diesel
yes there are 2 lines the feed line and the return line
SOURCE: Contaminated fuel
Your best bet is to contact the station where the fuel was purchaced and demand that they pay to have the tank removed and cleaned.Plus ,gasoline can cause internal (diesel) engine damage. The engine should also be tested for damage,especially with regard to cylinder compression pressure.

THERE is 2 ways to do it 1 take the tank out and drain it OR get a small 12volt pump as they fitted to a lot of English cars (Morris Minor Jag ) etc and fit a small fuel pipe 3/16" to both in let and out let and put the one with arrow to tank into tank and other end to a fuel drum (about same size as tank)and plug into 12v battery and let tank pump dry,
When you refill tank with Diesel add 1 ltr of petrol to full tank of Diesel it starts and runs 30% better.
If your dad tried to start it on petrol then undo INJECTOR pipes and spin over till Diesel comes out before you tighten injectors feed and starting engine.
