Type of combustion is determined by the engine, not the fuel. Intermittent or reciprocating engines such as those found in cars and trucks can run on diesel. Gas turbines AKA jet engines can also run on diesel however they are continuous combustion engines. The answer to your question depends on the type of engine you have in mind. If it has pistons then it will be intermittent.
