It absolutely could. A diesel engine does not use spark plugs to fire the fuel mixture. It uses extremely high compression. Gas is much more flammable than diesel and will ignite at a much lower compression ratio. If you put gas in a diesel the gas will fire before the piston is actually at top dead center. So the piston is still on the up stroke but the fuel has ignited, effectively forcing it down. The first thing to go....other than maybe pistons, would be the rod bearings.

What will happen if you use petrol why can't you use petrol?

If you have a diesel engine and fill it with petrol, it can explode. The petrol is gasoline with added chemicals to make it explode by the ignition made by the spark plug, causing the cylinders to move, that then powers your car. The diesel engine works differently, in that it has a heat plug that ensures heat in the chamber, the reverse movement of the cylinder cause an increase in pressure until it reaches the point where combustion takes place. Diesel on a petrol engine may wreck all the electronics, valves - because it will not ignite. The reason for preferring diesel engines on a boat is just that the diesel vapor needs pressure and heat to explode, not just a tiny spark.
