Diesel, being a liquid, is non-compressible, and since a diesel engine needs to compress air for (adiabatic) ignition, it won't be able to compress it, so it will jam the engine. Unlike gasoline, it will take a long time for the diesel inside to evaporate, so the vehicle is stuck until you fix it. This can be remedied on most diesel engines by arduously loosening or removing the injectors and then draining by suction or by cranking the engine until enough is squirted out to allow the engine to turn over.

Can a diesel air intake affect my truck's speed?
A diesel air intake does have the potential to increase the speed of your truck, and to make it go faster. The nature of the intake will allow for a greater amount of air to reach the engine.
