Apparently, you generally cannot do so because compression is needed for the detonation of the fuel mixture. Since diesel engines do not use ignition, more pressure in the cylinders is required. The fuel is vaporized directly into the compression chamber, which means that less volatile fuels can be used. Because only air is induced into the engine through the intake valve, the compression ratio can be much higher since there is no risk of pre-ignition as long as the injection process is accurately timed.

There were tractors that used both gasoline and diesel fuel. They would start on gasoline, using a carburetor and an ignition system, then they would be switched over to diesel fuel. There are also diesel model engines which are carbureted, though the fuel is a little different.
