Yes I've done t too. I put about 18 litres of petrol in my van and then  :o wtf am I doing!!!? I'm in the AA so rang them and had it drained on the forecourt costing £199  :'(. I am now paranoid every time I fill up. Even when I know I'm filling up with diesel I still keep checking its diesel while filling up  :-\

yep i do the same mate every time i fill up!its another reason why ive got a  golf GTD now and sold my petrol GTI..... ;D

2 diesel vehicles makes it easier to remember! ;D

Not really an issue with a bit of petrol in a diesel.  I did it with a BMW 535 about 10 Litres before I realised, rang my mate he said just fill it right up with Diesel, I did and it was fine so I wouldn’t imagine a van is any issue

I stuck £40 worth of petrol in my last van without even realising. Drove 4 miles down the road,  sounded like a bag of nails going round a cement mixer. Drove 4 miles back to my local mechanic, engine getting worse and worse all the way, had it drained and filled with diesel and it was absolutely fine.
I did nearly exactly this in a 2006 transit and I needed a new fuel pump.
