How is the diesel fuel circulated between the two tanks and the engine on a semi truck?

Fuel is drawn from the tanks through the pickup tubes, goes to the engine through the fuel pump... some of the fuel is burned, while some is used for lubrication and cooling.. the unused fuel is returned to the tanks through the fuel line.
That's the nickel tour.. more specific details depend on the actual model of the engine.

How does the fuel tank transfer on 1999 c6500 top kick?
Depends on which engine it has. With the Caterpillar diesel, there won't be a crossover between the tanks (if it has multiple tanks)... the Cats used the HEUI injectors, and more fuel than what was used to propel the vehicle was drawn... the extra fuel was used for cooling and lubrication of injector components, then returned to the fuel tanks via the return line.

Does diesel work in petrol engine?
The self ignition temp of petrol is much higher than diesel hence only compression in diesel engine cannot initiate the combustion .thus petrol cannot be used in diesel engine. There was an episode of "Amazing Race" a couple of years ago where the contestants jumped into the cars they were given to drive to the next destination. They were all diesel. They had to stop on the way there and fill up the tanks. It was night and about half the contestants did not notice that the cars were diesel and they pumped gasoline into the tanks. The cars did in fact get down the road a ways until they finally stopped. The most enterprising of the contestants was an older gentleman who crawled underneath his car, disconnected the fuel line, drained the tank, reconnected it, and refilled it with diesel. No a diesel will not run on gasoline.
