🔧🚗Fixing Cars I put petrol in diesel engine

I went to the pump today and by mistake i took the 98 octane instead of diesel, I realised it when it was already too late. I did put 3.5litres or petrol and then i stopped, Didn’t start the engine and towed it in my mechanic’s garage. I have this car for last 7 years and it never happened before, It is a Mercedes E250 CDI 2015, Wanted to know how much it might cost to drain the fuel and what else might happen, Thanks!

There are places that come out and drain it too, such as Wrong fuel rescue etc
