If gasoline is used in a diesel it will damage the engine. If diesel is used in a gasoline engine it will do no real damage as the engine will not run.

How can you change your diesel engine for petrol?
That is impossible. You cannot convert a diesel to run on petrol or vice versa.
What happens if you put diesel in a petrol engine and vice versa?
Neither would run correctly if at all. Both could suffer major damage.
Can diesel oil be used in a petrol engine or vice versa?
Because , petrol is ignited before or on reaching the dead center at low temparature. But diesel burns at high temp also that's why petrol is not sufficient to diesel engines.
What would happen if diesel is let into a petrol engine or vice-versa?
I assume by gasoline that's the same as unleaded/petrol.... Well basically you will not do any serious damage to the engine itself, the car will stop working, quite possibly have some black smoke coming out the exhaust as the diesel works it way through, you will not be able to use the car until the entire fuel system has been drained out, so its a costly and frustrating mistake to make.
Why petrol cannot be used in diesel engines and vice versa?
Diesel fuel is used in diesel engines as a partial lubricant. It also has a high flash point due the fact that diesel engines ignite the fuel by compression rather than spark. A gasoline engine on the other hand fires the fuel by spark and the fuel has a lower flash point. Gasoline has no lubricating qualities whatsoever. Diesel engines are designed to run on diesel fuel and the use of gasoline in a diesel engine will destroy it. Gasoline engines on the other hand will not even run on diesel but no damage will be done to the engine. You will however have to drain the fuel tank and flush out the fuel lines.
Can you mix diesel oil with non diesel oil?
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
How do petrol and diesel engines work?
No. Diesel and petrol, while both petrochemicals, act quite differently. Petrol is ignited by a spark, and at a relatively low pressure. Diesel 'self ignites' when placed under sufficient pressure, therefore diesel engines do not use spark plugs, and require higher operating pressures to work. To allow for the different pressures, there are large differences between the designs of petrol and diesel engines, carburettors/fuel injectors and valve systems. The only way to convert a petrol car to a diesel (or vice versa) is a complete engine swap.
