NO NO NO!!! If you do this you will destroy your engine. Diesels do not use spark plugs to ignite the fuel. Instead the use compresion. Gasoline ignites at a lower compression than does diesel, so if you put gasoline in a diesel (even if you mixed it with oil of anykind) it would ignite before the piston got to it's full stroke, in turn, slamming your motor in reverse, and possibly breaking everything from the block to the pistons.
