We searched the diffractive heavy quark production in the semi-electronic mode. Diffractive candidates are selected from low Et electron sample in central region using the Roman pot detector. Observed diffractive electron candidate preshower pulse height distribution consistent with a purely hadronic background origin. We conclude that there is < 18.3 real diffractive electron events in the sample (90% c.l., stat only). An upper limit of heavy quark produced diffractively is 0.9%(90% c.l.) in our pot acceptance (0<|t|<~1.5,~0.05
