The answer depends on the capacity of the fuel tank
The engine will not run without a supply of petrol so you would think it is useful.

Failure of the engine or out of petrol
Yes it is possible to swap a diesel for a petrol engine, if you have the money, skill, and time. It will require lots of money. I would not advise it.
No, the petrol has a higher ignition flash point than that of kerosene. It would be like using petrol in a diesel engine. The engine would run extremely hot and the engine could be destroyed. As diesel uses compression to burn the fuel petrol needs a spark. The petrol under higher compression will pre ignite and cause detonation in the piston cylinders. This could destroy the pistons, cylinder walls or the cylinder head of the engine.
no it would make the car break down
No petrol's a good place to start!
Diesel engines fire on compression rather than spark. This requires that a diesel engine be made much stronger than a petrol engine. All internal components are made to much stronger specifications. A petrol engine could not handle the higher compression and would self destruct.
It can make the engine seize up, the mechanic parts and components are made to work with the right type of fuel for the engine. Basically, if you put petrol into a diesel engine, it would run for about 10 minutes then die. Then you would need a new engine. Diesel fuel is oily and provides lubrication for the pumps and injectors. Petrol does not provide the lubrication, so the pumps and injectors will be damaged. It is unlikely that the engine will run at all if all petrol is used. Diesels are compression ignition engines. The fuel ignites as soon as it is injected into hot air. petrol needs a spark.
no not at all. i went up to the dealership and they said it would work the same
well considering the engine type petrol diesel the best outboard motor to get would be a petrol engine as this is easy fuel to come across just don't get any water in the fuel tank as this will cause the engine to cease and that's bad so get a petrol engined outboard motor and petrol hope this helps
I would recommend not running the engine until the fuel is drained. Any amount of petrol/gasoline in a diesel can cause engine or fuel system damage.
