I did a study on this around 1990. The engines used were made by Wauhesha Engine Division, Wi.
Gasoline (Octane value)- Motor Method and Research Method. That's where you get the little yellow sticker in the pump (R+M/2).
Diesel (Cetane Method).
By adding gas to diesel at incrememental ratios, I found that you had a decrease in cetane value as the gas ratio increased. Although, no parts were damaged I would feel that if you reached a certain threshold of gas conamination you could see the head gaskket blow, bent connecting rods, cracked pistons, bent crank, bent valve stem, cam, etc. Where there is a greater compression ratio in diesel engines.
So, if you reached the engine and stopped it before this occurred, I would say you are good to go. Especially with the flushing you did.
BTW, diesel in gas...the motor will just quit, foul the plugs out and may stop up the catalytic converter.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
