I did that. My comment is based on this quote...

"Our approach is to use a fuel injector — in this case a diesel fuel injector — but use fuel that is difficult to auto-ignite. In this case, gasoline."

Diesel injectors require high pressure to inject directly into the cylinder, and these parts are immersed in the fuel. If it doesn't lubricate, the metal wears prematurely.
