In extremely cold weather, some diesel engine operators will mix small
amounts of gasoline with the diesel fuel in order to make the fuel more
combustible in a diesel engine. In that case, it's the gasoline that is
helping the diesel burn, not a case of more easily ignited diesel
assisting the more reluctant gasoline to burn as a result of
compression.
thats done to keep the diesel from turning into jello at low
temperatures. the cars i had could take up to 30% gas for that in the
winter.

Certainly; but consider that you were limited to that 30%. If you
exceeded 30%, you risked damaging the engine because the mixture would
be too volatile, (rather than not volatile enough), right?
