Diesel in a gas fuel system

98 Dodge hd 3500 Magnum truck was just fueled up with diesel. Is my engine going to blow?

It probably will not start, and if it will, it will smoke blue like crazy, then run very bad.
I'd drain the tank. You don't have to be completely clean, just take the majority out of it, then change the plugs a couple of times since they will foul.
It will be like running 2 stroke oil mix.

Not as bad as the opposite, gas into a diesel engine, that's when you'll get a Kaboom.....
