What will happen if you mix diesel and gasoline?
Mix diesel in a gasoline engine and it will stall or run very poorly depending on how much you mixed in. Mix gasoline in a diesel engine and you will have engine damage.
Can you mix diesel with regular gas?
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.
Do all cars run on diesel fuel?
No. Only around 1% of US cars run on diesel. Most run on gasoline (petrol) or a mix of gasoline and ethanol.
What percentage of gasoline to diesel would still be considered safe diesel fuel?
Zero, do not mix gasoline and diesel together unless you have a lot of money and like to fix things. For more information see the answer to the Related Questionshown below.

I am not sure what you are asking but putting oil for diesel engines in a gasoline engine with some oil in it would not be good, or vise versa
What happens if you put gasoline in a diesel dodge truck?

How much gasoline can be added to a diesel auto's fuel tank without causing problems. I've heard the ratio can be as high as 70 percent diesel and 30 percent gasoline?
Incorrect on both accounts. The distillates in diesel are different than gasoline, in that they have different ignition points and cetane ratings. Because of this, adding gasoline to diesel will inhibit the ignition in the diesel engine, just as adding diesel to a gasoline engine will cause the fuel to ignite too quickly. In general, never mix the two. You can add diesel-specific additives to diesel, but gasoline is never recommended. More info: http://www.turbodieselregister.com/mixing_gasoline_and_diesel.htm

What does diesel mechanics do?
Diesel mechanics is the knowledge to design, build, and mantain, diesel engines. This type of internal combustion engine works on a thermodynamical cycle called Otto Cycle of Four Stages for Diesel, which has a different behavior of that one followed by the gasoline engines, the latter called Otto Cycle of Four Stages (for gasoline). Diesel is a fuel with higher octane than gasoline, to the point where the use of a spark to ignite the fuel/air mix turns pointless, so the spark plug is ommited and the mix is instead ignited by cylinder compression, making the mix to heat due to drastic pressure increased and volume reduced.
