Yep... long as it isn't too high octane it'll work 
found a plate on my engine (LDS-465 multifuel) that reads "fuel spec - all petroleum distillates up to a maximum octane rating of 85m-95r" though I may have swapped the m/r or 85/95. Basically anything up to gasoline, just toss a couple quarts of motor oil or other heavy oil into the tank if you're running on the real thin/high octane stuff to keep the injection pump lubed properly, and try to stay down toward the heavy to mid end of the spectrum when possible i.e. don't run gasoline at all times. Avgas is right out, too high octane.

there's a big plate on my dash that says no avgas, so I don't use it. My gut feeling was that it probably would cause knock or preignition but that shows how little I know about stuff like this, the only thing I can think of is maybe it doesn't work well in compression engines (like the multifuel) because it is too high octane to "pre-ignite" i.e. won't diesel?
