I did exactly the same thing several years ago on our way home from wintering in Florida except I filled an almost empty tank. After fueling, I pulled around to the parking area and went in to get my receipt. I noticed that it had the wrong price and then I noticed that it said gas and not diesel. :E Went back and looked at the pump and sure enough, I had put gasoline in and not diesel fuel! Evidently the short running of the engine did not do any damage as my truck now has 260,000 miles and is still running strong.
I called Good Sam and 35 minutes later they had my truck on a flatbed and took me about 30 miles away to a shop that drained my tank, cleaned the lines, and sent me on my way back to the Flying J to get the trailer and a proper tank of fuel.
It was a good, expensive lesson (the cost of a tank of gasoline, the repairs and fuel to get back to the trailer), and then another tank of diesel. The tow was free.) and one I hope to never repeat.
