You would need to raise the compression ratio quite a lot. You would also need fuel injection for diesel, not a carburettor. You don't need a spark plug but you might be able to fit a glow plug in the same hole.

plain model engines are not same as diesel - they have a glow plug - basically some fancy wire that is very hot that is equivalent of the spark in 4 stroke.

Diesels work by compressing the gas so that is gets so hot that any fuel squirted in ignites.

Now diesels do have glow plugs too that are used when starting when the engines is cold; plus they also (old land rovers anywya) have a hot spot - some metal disc that helps combustion - at whcih point my knowledge of diesels come to an abrupt end.

So don't know if what you are asking is possible.

The US army are running diesel motorbikes - not sure if 4 or 2 stroke.

you won't burn diesel in it, simple fact it will self destruct at the compression ratio required....


however, you could (not that you would want to!!!) burn alcohol/nitro mix in it with no spark plug if you raised the compression a bit and put a decompressor screw on it plus a blowtorch on the head when starting..............

WHY?????????

I would think a screen washer pump would do nicely to pump diesel in

ROFL

and as NS Dev says it would just explode if you raised the CR enough - diesel engines are made a lot stronger than petrol ones to stop them blowing up.

I think you would need injectors and a timed pump, doesnt the pump in a diesel also act as the limiter, as i understand it, without a limiter a diesel can rev itself to destruction almost straight away, may be wrong though......

it does, but you can throttle a diesel instead, but its not the best way to control it.

Just think of a diesel engine as a petrol with severe pinking, explains it the easiest!

You used to be able to get actual diesel engines for model planes, and yes they had carbs - very basic and cheeeeap.

didn't run on diesel tho, burnt methanol and nitro, just had no plug or glowplug, just a comp screw

Yes, it has been done. At this years Shell Ecomarathon one competitor, from Denmark I think, ran a converted Puch two stroke engine on diesel. The diesel was injected, using a standard type injector fitted into the spark plug hole, but it was a measured and timed pulse as per a normal direct injection setup (only twice as fast obviously).

While on the subject of converting engines...

How come you can not run a diesel engine on petrol? The fuel isn't injected until the highest compression is reached anyway, right? So there should be no pinking? And how come there's no high-revving diesels? Surely you can make an oversquare design with a high CR?

because of the high compression ratio, the petrol would not want to coperate! plus the massive compresion needed for a diesal means it needs a long stroke and chunky componats these are heavy so it wont want to rev

Diesels have a long stroke to get the torque, and high RPMs would mean that the piston accelerations would be flipping high, and would probably overload the big ends.

Also, Diesel doesnt burn that quick compared to petrol.

Also, burning petrol in a 20:1 compression engine would blow the f***in' cylinder head to mars!

The torque comes from the very high compression, and the extra energy in diesel compared to petrol. Stroke has relatively little effect on torque for a given capacity engine, as the increase in area of the piston as the stroke gets shorter balances it out perfectly, in theory at least.

I don't know if there was a web page, I was looking at the car in the flesh.
