   carbon monoxide is a product of diesel combustion, but it is significantly lower than a gasoline engine. that’s why diesels are better for the environment.

   You can get carbon monoxide poisoning from anything that uses fire to produce energy provided inadequate ventilation. Diesel fuels aren’t significantly worse or better than gasoline in that regard.
