A little bit of gas isnt going to cause any catastrophic failure but i wouldnt use it on a regular basis because it IS hard on injection system componets. There is clearances so tight in injecton system that if you touch some componets with your fingers you can ruin the machined surfaces enought that they will stick or lock up, so lubrication is important. Gas cuts down the lubricity of diesel and because of the way sulfer is taken out of diesel in the US the lubricity is already pretty low. Around here the diesel shops strongly recomend running #2 all year and using a fuel stabalizer like Power Service (PS)or Stanadyne has some good stuff i cant remember the name but it comes in a bottle with a green and white label. Another benifit to the additives is it will increase fuel economy some where as in my experience gas will tend to cut it down.
