Did you run it already? If not, you could siphon it out and put the right stuff in.

put the lawn mower upside down and drain all the gas out then just put regular gas in and run it it wont run right for like 5 min. while it burns the diesel that gotr in the engine but just keep it started then it will be good

1. Take It to a lawnmower shop so they can take off the tank and carb for a cleaning, and also any adjustments it might need, or
2. do it yourself if your good with that kind of thing and if it still doesnt work then bring it to the shop.

Need to drain the tank and if not started you’ll be okay, but if you try starting it then your going to a professional to clean out the engine.

Drain all the fuel you can, out of it. Give it a rinse with fresh gas and dump again. Fill with more fresh gas and start it. You will probably have smoke for a few minutes.
