Drain it out! Open the line downstream of the filter and run it into a container. Put in a fresh filter, fill the tank with diesel and bleed the filter and the fuel system clear to the injectors. It should be OK. If you didn't try to start it, the gas wouldn't have got beyond the filter. If you did, the engine will start when it gets diesel in the cylinders.

Thanks so much Jerry! Gotter done and running good now. Got to figure out how to keep him from doing it again. Thanks again Jerry.
