Nah a bit of petrol and diesel is a good thing they mix well.
Won't hurt a thing.

that's good. the first 10 litre fill will be for my 2 stroke 6HP tender and the rest into my generator. So all should be sweet then.

At the end of the day there would be less than 10 ml of diesel in there, this with 10l of petrol = 1000:1 or less. Petrol would easily dissolve diesel and the fact that its going in your 6hp 2s, all good not worth a second though all good.
