The main difference is that gasoline burns easy with a spark, because it is smaller and easily turns into a gas, and diesel burns not so easy with a spark so is compressed with air until it is hot and combusts on it’s own.

As diesel does not burn easy it will not burn at all in a gasoline engine and slowly drown out the engine.

Gasoline in a diesel engine will combust before it should and thus likely break it.
