Will diesel OIL damage a petrol engine?

[Edit]

Answer

It shouldn't, but remember diesel oil is much thicker than regular oil and it will take longer to get into the rest of the engine. I used it once on a ford 302 for several months and it didn't hurt but the rear seal was shot out and leaked like a sive. I don't know what it will do to another make of engine.
