You already drove it. What's the point in asking now?

Because i have spoken to two local mechanics. One said to drain everything off and fill with diesel again. The other said given the ratio of petrol to diesel it will be okay.

9 liters vs what capacity? Still if mine I'd drain it all to be on the safe side. You've already driven it so if damage happened at best you could minimize it - hard to say,
