diesel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hello all,a guy at work gave me a 5 gallon drum of what he thought was petrol,it smelt like it and i soaked a rag in it and burned it to be sure,and yes i felt like a hooligan,anyhow,i put maybe half a litre into the tank before it looked odd,i think it was mixed with diesel,

long story short i had to get home and couldnt drain it out until i got home,bike ran ok-ish,little bit of smoke,and a lot of pinking around 3.5rpm,when the torque kicks in,put in fresh petrol and its better,no smoke,but from idle revs a little odd,im hoping that the a tank or two will flush it out,my question is,will it damage the injectors or fuel system??

moral of the story=trust no one,take it for granted everyone is an idiot?
