With sufficient fuel, certainly.
In a gasoline engine, definitely not. There are times when it is not inappropriate to add small amounts of gasoline to diesel for a diesel engine.

In diesel engine the air is only compressed in compression stroke and then diesel is entered .......so only small amount of fuel is consumed then petrol engine which take lot amount of fuel.......
Depends entirely on size and type of engine...from practically nothing for small car to some hundreds of litres in large ship engine.
A small french car manufactured by Peugeot with a diesel engine, 205 is the model number. There are 5 diesel models in the series; from a normally aspirated 1769cc engine through to the 3 door 1905cc Turbo
No, but only if it is a small amount. It will mix with the gasoline and burn off. The engine may give off a black exhaust until it is gone but a small amount of diesel should not damage the engine.For more information see the answer to the Related Question shown below.

It depends on the size. A diesel in a small car is a couple of hundred pounds, while a diesel in cruise ship is many tons.It depends on the size. A diesel in a small car is a couple of hundred pounds, while a diesel in cruise ship is many tons.
I am not an expert but my understanding is the electromotive configuration is better suited to locomotives. An internal combustion engine is used to run a generator or alternator and the electricity then runs the electric motors that drive the wheels. +++ The diesel engine IS used in small locomotives, usually with a hydraulic transmission. Larger locomotives use either electric or hydraulic drives but the prime mover is still a diesel engine.
NO!!! It's not the same kind of engine. A diesel engine has glow plugs, a gasoline engine has spark plugs. A diesel engine ignite the fuel by compression, the gasoline engine ignite it with spark plugs.Some people add a SMALL amount of gasoline to their diesel fuel in the winter when the temperature falls below -20 deg celsius (5 deg below zero F), to prevent the diesel from turning waxy.
No - a small amount will not damage the engine, though may cause it to run badly. However, a larger amount can cause serious damage, and the tank and engine should be drained.
