A Petrol engine use petrol that it ignites to cause an explosion in the cylinders, where the diesel engine works by compressing the mix of diesel and air, expose this to heat to make it explode but over a longer time. So a diesel engine has no spark plugs.
The diesel needs pressure and heat, while petrol is explosive, will explode. So the two cannot be used together.
