NO! Don't do it because, if you try to start it with regular unleaded gas in the diesel fuel tank, you're very likely to damage your engine!

Gas ignites from sparks from spark plugs. Diesel is an oil and ignites from the high pressure produced by the piston in the cylinder. Therefore a diesel engine needs no spark plugs to produce the fire.
