Typical gasoline engine compression pressure ranges from about 120 to 200 psi (pounds per square inch), depending on the engine's design and its state of tune. Higher-performance engines may achieve pressures above 200 psi, while older or lower-compression engines might be on the lower end of the scale. Factors such as engine displacement, combustion chamber design, and compression ratio all influence these values. Regular maintenance can also affect compression pressure, impacting engine performance.

It won't run, that's for sure. Diesel is ignited by compression pressure, not by spark. And the compression in a gasoline engine is not sufficient to ignite the diesel.
Gasoline engine is an internal combustion engine where a diesel is an internal compression engine. Gasoline is highly flammable and explodes when an electrical spark is applied to it where diesel explodes when it is put under pressure
The Isuzu 2.3L 4ZD1 engine has a compression ratio of approximately 9.2:1. This compression ratio is typical for a gasoline engine of its size, providing a balance between power output and fuel efficiency.
Normal compression on a gasoline engine is about 125 psi.
Diesel engine runs at a higher compression ratio than a gasoline engine. A typical diesel engine may also use a longer stroke and smaller bore than a gasoline engine. Diesel fuel has a higher energy density than gasoline.
No, absolutely not. Diesel engines run at a much higher compression than gasoline engines. A typical gasoline engine has a compression ration of 10:1 while the typical diesel compression ratio is 20:1 or higher. The diesel burns fuel through compression and the gasoline burns by ignition. You must use an oil with an API rating of C (Compression) in a diesel. Gasoline engines use API rating S (Spark). Use exactly the proper weight and API rating as listed in your owner's manual. Use a gasoline motor oil and you will destroy that diesel engine. -IMPROVED - I totally agree with Almostevil. I own a diesel and this is what I use. So, I didn't "improve" his answer but do back it up!

Higher than a gasoline engine.
Gasoline does not combust properly, or at all, in a compression ignition engine. Gasoline is designed to be ignited by a spark.
A 'spark ignition ' engine is your regular gasoline engine as opposed to a diesel, which is a 'compression ignition' engine
Compression ignition is deisel. Otherwise, spark ignition is gasoline.
