That is normal for a diesel engine. The temperature of the cylinders is not quite hot enough for complete burn. The issue goes away normally, in a few minutes.

No, never put diesel in a gasoline engine it will foul up the sparkplugs in your engine, clog it up, and make it smoke alot. Cold Diesel in a diesel engine isn't too good either because when diesel gets cold it gels up, that is why most diesel engines have a built in heater to warm up the engine and fuel before starting.
