Yeah, you can burn any combustible gas in a diesel. Since ignition doesn't occur until the diesel is sprayed it's simply a matter of keeping the gas mixture lean enough to prevent preignition. Did I say simply? Every engine build is different. In my case, running at 7200 feet of thin air I might run more propane than others but controlling the gas flow at every running condition sounds pretty demanding. --Gnarlie
