Will 1 gallon of diesel hurt a gas engine?

The filler neck for gasoline cars is smaller than the diesel nozzle so you can’t actually get the diesel nozzle into it. But a relatively small amount of diesel will not harm the engine. It will lower the octane rating a bit so the engine might knock/detonate under heavy acceleration, so drive with a light foot.

What happens if I accidentally put diesel in my gas tank?

Since diesel fuel is thicker and denser than gasoline, the fuel pump will struggle to move the diesel/gasoline mixture through the system. Instead, it will clog up the fuel filter. And whatever amount of diesel that then makes its way to the engine will clog the fuel injectors, making them inoperable.
