yes you can, in fact you can run a diesel entirely on filtered Transmission Fluid. you will have a marginal loss of power, but considering the fact that if you have a deal with a shop, or you work in a shop, the fuel could entirely be free.
the reason a diesel is able to run in transmission fluid, is because it is a pertoleum based fluid, just like diesel, and engine oil. gasoline is petroleum based as well, BUT, since its flash point is much LOWER than engine oil, diesel fuel, and transmission fluid, it WILL cause damage due to extreme detonation. Diesels will run on almost any petroleum fluid based with a higher flash point than gasoline because combustion is caused by heat and compression, not spark.
i don't care who says it doesn't work, it does, i have seen it with my own two eyes with one truck, and have had contact with another person who has seen it as well. you may run into issues in the cold where you may need to add diesel fuel to the transmission fluid for it to burn, otherwise you just let it warm longer

not much. it would change the viscosity of the oil. the diesel oil is much thicker than regular engine oil.

Worn piston rings.
When i change the oil in the diesel engine i come to idea to wash the engine and i mix up some oil with diesel and let the engine run for few minute after fill with new oil Now is come blue smoke?
The use of a oil and diesel mix to clean your engine has removed the carbon seal in the engine causing blue smoke (Burning Oil) through the Valve stem Seals and the rings The practice of adding a mixture of oil and diesel is dangerous for your engine as i also lowers the efficiency for the oil to lubricate the engine which can cause the wiping of bearings it may recover but long term damage has been done
Can you use gas engine oil in a diesel engine?
No you can not use gas engine oil in diesel engine oil because processing of diesel engine is different from gas engine oil. If you use this then it damage your vehicles.
Can you mix oil and gas to run in diesel?
No - they are not designed to run on gasoline. You need diesel fuel or some can be run on vegetable oil or cooking oil but not gas it will wreck your engine. It detinates too hot.
Can you mix transmission oil with diesel?
YES! If it is clean or good filtered used Transmission oil. Diesels will run on just about any oil if it is thin enough..... If you are in an area where it gets very cold, you should heat it to 160F.
Can you use diesel oil in gasoline engine?
NO, do not use diesel oil and a gasoline engine.
