Running the multifuel diesel on straight gas will ruin something;the fuel injection pump first as gasoline will not lube the fuel delivery part of it. There is a/are formul/s on what to mix with the gasoline to make it more compatiable. The most commonly avaliable one was motor oil.
There was a thread several months ago on alternate fuels and the multifuel engine came up, there was more detailed info in that thread.
