As far as I know, most diesel cars and trucks run high pressure(25-100
psi) fuel lines from the tank to the injection pump(where the pressure
is kicked up to several thosuand psi).  I'm not sure that you would have
enough pressure to push gas through a diesel fuel filter.  Aside from
that, it sounds like a great idea.  My diesel audi had a drain on the
bottom of the filter, it was amazing how much water collected in there.
