The vehicle would run very badly if at all. There would be large amounts of black smoke coming from the tail pipe. Because diesel will not burn as well as gasoline, the engine would have multiple misfires, which will cause stalling issues. With newer cars, the amount of unburnt fuel being dumped into the exhaust would cause the failure of oxygen sensors and the catalytic converter. In severe cases, the engine could hydro-lock (when an internal combustion engine is forces to compress a fluid. Being that fluids cannot be compressed, hydro-lock usually results in damage to internal engine components.)
