With the new EPA rules, this may be a way for diesel truck engines to meet the new pollution and fuel economy requirements. If it works on the diesel truck engines, RV engines may soon follow, like they did with the DEF. The smell of diesel may soon be a thing of the past. Gasoline fueled diesel engines

So if you ran gas in a regular diesel engine what would the result be? I had been told that since gas was more flammable than diesel that it could severely damage the engine. Is that not true?
