The hydrogen gas present in a diesel will be consumed before the fuel ever gets injected.
The compression temperature in a diesel approces 1000'F as the piston nears Top Dead Center.
In my diesel it exceeds 1100'F due to higher than normal 22:1 compression.
On a diesel you are better off running straight water injection, it has proven to provide many benifets.
The best thing about water injection is you can get ahold of water pretty easy. I have found that about 1 out of 3 to 1 out of 4 large truck stops has a free water source.
