I wouldn't use deisel at all, it is a fuel and as such , a percentage of it will burn readily, even when mixed with oil. Average oil temps can range from 80 to 110 degrees which is far too close to diesel's flashpoint for this little black duck! I envision that using deisel as a flush could INCREASE the amount of carbon inside your engine.
Use deisel engine oil, its cheap and the detergent in it will help clean out your engine.BTW, the detergent in deisel engine oil isn't there to actually remove carbon, but to keep it in suspension in the oil so that when you drain the oil, out comes the carbon as well. Normally this carbon and other deposits will settle on the bottom of the sump and the only deposits that will come out when you drain the oil is whats on the sum p plug.
I have seen hundreds of engines ( and done up a fair portion of that number), a lot of carbon around your rings will NEVER help seal your rings, getting rid of it will.
Usually with worn engines, the compression increase comes from carbon deposits in the combustion chamber and on the piston crown, rather than the idea of it "helping" to seal the rings.
