The problem with diesel fuel is it's refined to ignite as fast as possible on contact with air heated from compression.
Just because diesels are high compression and you engine are higher compression doesn't mean it will work.
Diesels get away with running high compression and unstable fuel by not injecting fuel until after the air has been compressed.
Gasoline engines mix the air and fuel together before or during compression. Gasoline and air have to remain stable during compression and during ignition by the spark plug.
You may be able to run some diesel but don't expect to be able to run more than 20%.
