Help - I've done something really stupid....

Heading says it all really. Have just put some unleaded in my Citroen diesel. Only excuse is that I'd just filled our other (petrol) car and when I went back with the diesel my mind was on autopilot. OK - so I put 22 litres of petrol in before I realised at which point I stopped and filled to the brim with diesel. It's a 66 litre tank so approx one third petrol and two thirds diesel in there. How big a problem is this? If I run for say 30 miles and top up with diesel and do this every 30 miles, thus diluting the petrol more each time, will I get away with it without causing damage. Car is a 2006 Citroen C5

Select suitably sized gravel and you can make ball bearing races with it, dry sand can also be a fantastic lubricant.

Sure, do that too, if that would help as much as the two-stroke oil.
