The gas/diesel was in a can from your Mum or you bought the gas/diesel at a gas station ?
The station needs to be responsible if you bought a gas/diesel mix from them.
You will have to have it towed to a mechanic. The lines and tank will have to be emptied of diesel and flushed out. The plugs will need to be changed and it could have ruined your catalytic convertor.
My daughter did a similar thing to her car.
Bad news - it can be a very expensive fix if the cat. convertor is ruined.

SOURCE: 98 mazda 626..starts then shakes and then shuts off

A few things could be causing this problem:

  1. Vibration when running is an indication that one or more spark plugs are fouled or missing
  2. Cracked/worn distributor cap
  3. On all models except the Millenia, the fuel filter is attached to a bracket located in the left rear of the engine compartment, next to or beneath the brake master cylinder fluid reservoir
I hope this answered your question. Best of luck.

Not to scare or offend you but it could be many many things. It does help that the check engine light is on, though.
If you can go to a place like Autozone, where they check your check engine light for free, and post what the code was, I can give you a place to start.
I do not mind helping you further with a proper diagnosis procedure either, if you can share your vehicle information.

Sounds like a MAF(Mass air flow sensor, you can start by pulling it out, it's inside the intake box on this car. You can clean it with a high percentage isopropl alcohal or MAF cleaner, this sounds to be the problem, if it is really bad, you can unplug it temporarily, it will not have as much power but it will run better. If cleaning it doesn't fix it, then you will need to replace it, ensure not to touch the sensor itself at all.

How do I syphon gas from a 2005 Mazda premacy

You don't. They have a piece in the neck to the tank on basically all recent cars that keep anyone from siphoning gas.

How do you drain the fuel from a 2000 VW New

this is a common mistake,when i was selling cars i must have put gas in 20 diesel cars.you can run a diesel car with about 10%gas in the fuel with the only problem being hot starting and slower acceleration,(it is common for garages to tell customers that the whole system needs flushing,this is bollox,)NATO tanks run on 30%gas/diesel mix in arctic conditions(stops fuel from freezing and is less volatile than gas alone(takes a lot to burn diesel out of a pressurised container...) just use low power until you can refill with high octane gas...(diesel mixes with gas,it doesnt float on the surface or sink down...so filters are not affected either...))

I have a mazda 6 2 litre diesel eating oil, what

Mazda say that if your Mazda 6 consumues less than a litre every 900 miles then it within tolerance.
However these cars have a complicated induction mechanism controld by lots of diffrent vacume pots that are inturn controlled by servos, when any one of these becomes faulty the pressure balance between the exhaust side of the turbo and the inlet side becomes inbalanced, resulting in oil being forced through the turbos bearings. Its that simple lol!
The first thing I would check would be the swirl control valve, In the inlet manifold, This gets fouled up by the exhaust gases getting recycled by the egr valve(exhaust gas recycler)
Sooty deposits mix with oil coming from your turbo and jam it closed restricting the amount of air into the engine, and reducing power as well as creating black smoke from your exhaust.
So my advice would be to get your egr valve proffetionally blanked off, and have your induction system checked over.
Hope this helps as I am sure this is a very common problem!

I have diesel in my unleaded tank

Diesel will not seriously harm a gasoline engine. That said, a
gasoline engine will not run on diesel, it does not have the capacity
to ignite the fuel. So while no actual damage has been caused, as has
been stated, you will have to clean out all of the diesel before it
will run again. The mechanics tell you they have to replace all of
those parts, while really it is a matter of getting as much diesel out
as you can, and letting the rest burn off with the gas. A bit of
diesel mixed with gasoline would have the effect of a bit of oil mixed
with the gas, a little smoke. Good luck and run the engine on the highest octane
with fuel injector cleaner.
