Unless fuel is different in the US ... diesel distillate and petrol/gas mixes well.
There are a few of grades of diesel, cross contamination and even partial with a cheaper "extender" substitution. Over our way a few years back we had an issue with petrol/gas being adulterated leading to issues. Diesel there's talk they sometimes let way too much wax fraction into diesel during hot summer periods, not just a summer blend but scorcher blend.
Interesting bit about deliberately mixing it in during the cold at wikipedia ... but applies to older engine design.
