The use of diesel in a Distillate engine is possible, but would require sevire temperature control to get it to burn at all. (200-205 degrees coolant temp) the gasoline head would not allow it to last very long because the anti-knock rating of diesel is in the fifties (octane). That is why the compression is low in the dual fuel tractors. The smell would overpower the toughest person alive. Distillate is much lighter than #2 fuel oil, and no longer available. It could be done, but the results would be less than desirable, and would require changing the head to low compression. JimN
