Diesel Engines That Also Burn Gasoline (and vice versa)

[@apancher]

During my years as a motorcycle salesman, I had a veteran customer who had ridden the diesel KLR650. He said it was the slowest tractor of a bike he's ever ridden, but was absolutely unstoppable.

[@Flies2FLL]

Diesel fuel, jet fuel, and kerosene are all essentially the same fuel. The difference is the additives. What is impressive is when a diesel can run on gasoline. This fuel has NO lubricating properties at all, and if the diesel injection pump can handle it with a bit of oil added, this is a fantastic development. -I've been told that diesels in Russia can run on alcohol mixed with motor oil; Here in south Florida all the city busses and the garbage trucks are diesels that run on compressed natural gas. Since the tank provides the pressure, there is no diesel injection pump to be lubricated so this works just fine and it is significantly cheaper to use CNG. Great video!

[@testaccount4191]

good old chieftain, brilliant vehicle providing the fire position is not to far way. (the British army on the Rhine had about had 1/6 of its tanks out of action because of that engine) It was later fixed though

[@glenngray3119]

I know that most of the multifuel engines used in US military equipment were very limited as to the amount of time they would run on gasoline, for the deuce and half it was something like 50 miles. Any time you are trying to get multifuel capability from an engine compromises must be made. A diesel engine running on jet fuel requires a lubrication additive to the fuel or you severely limit the life of the parts of the injection system that require that lubrication. Military mechanics that worked on Humvees told me they were only good for a couple thousand miles before failure when running on JP-8.

[@garretfisher2217]

jp-8 is ok for heavy duty diesel engines, done it enough to know

[@movinmetal2596]

LDTs will run pretty happily on commercial or avgas if you mix in a few quarts of motor oil to lubricate the injection pump 👍

[@devinwalton408]

Isnt jet fuel kerosene? Wont diesel run just fine on K fuels?

[@glenngray3119]

I really watching every video that you make, so informative and enjoyable to hear your voice and the work you do acquiring these videos is amazing. Keep it up!!

[@robertpierce1981]

I too enjoy your voice and pronunciations. Very recognizable.

[@bobroberts2371]

To expand on the international start on gasoline / run on diesel. These are 3 valve per cylinder. The third valve opens up a secondary combustion chamber that contains the spark plug and is where gasoline enters the cylinder. Once the engine is warmed up, this valve stays shut and the diesel injection pump takes over. Batteries and starters were not very good up until the 70's so large diesels needed this type of system or a small gasoline engine to act as a starter motor.

[@jackrichards1863]

That's about the most awesome amazing documentary about a type of engine ever. Deeply investigated it appears? I would happily watch a longer version of this too. But I may settle for seeing this again until I memorize the info. Very well done Visioracer👍🏆

[@jkim6200]

Great video! diesel, kerosene, and jet fuel (requiring igniters in specific conditions) are similar enough in nature. 4t gasoline engine, however, is different in specifically requiring ignition for combustion for sufficient power.

[@XX-nw1xg]

Can you do an automotive list of some kind next? That would be awesome. Great video as always

[@mrchopper91]

Love your videos. If you make a part 2 on this topic. Make sure to include the swedish Hesselman. A low compression diesel, with sparkplugs. Able to run on gasoline, diesel or kerosene. Always fauling the sparkplugs though. And because of that being nicknamed "Trasselman" - Troubleman.

[@aaronburratwood.6957]

Great video, packed with stuff I’ve never seen before.

[@pilaradinata]

seeing those trucks offroading at around 1:00 feels like watching a spintires gameplay

[@andrewallen9993]

I have run my 1964 Mercedes w110 220D on all types of diesel, parraffin, kerosene , sunflower seed oil, rapeseed oil, olive oil, dextron II ATF and used 20w50 motor oil after it has settled for about two months and jet A-1 to 9 perfectly well. You have to change the oil in the fuel injection system when you change the engine oil though.

[@Wesleystewart78]

I run my 7.3 power stroke off a oil diesel mix normally 5050 have yet to try jet fuel I mix for price reasons though lol

[@andrewallen9993]

@@Wesleystewart78 kerosene is two thirds the price of diesel where I live, the others were just experiments to see if they would work.

@@andrewallen9993 it's been awhile since I've bought some used to be priced between diesel and gas around me

[@andrewallen9993]

@@Wesleystewart78 It's because there is no tax on kerosene but there is on petrol and diesel.

That military bike's engine sounded a drum following the beat to the Super Mario Star power-up theme.

[@rhiantaylor3446]

Lister have been making simple long-lived diesel engines since 1929. KZbin has articles showing that, once you have the Lister engine idling with a bare minimum of diesel fuel, you can add other fuels such as butane/propane into the air feed to increase output power.

[@nick_dizzle]

Always teaching me something new lol. Great video man 🤘🏻

[@288gto7]

MTU 838 and 873 and 883 used in leo1 and leo2 and merkava are also multifuel. V8X hyperbar from Leclerc is also multifuel. Perkins condor v12 from Challenger 2 is also multifuel. All these engines are 4 stroke

[@fuse8052]

Such great videos on stuff I have never heard of or would ever hear of. Thank you for these videos and the information in them

[@jacobraleigh2842]

Under the International harvester bit, don't forget about some of the tractors too that had different engines but used the same gasoline to diesel switch. Such as the WD-45, Farmall MD, W-6D w-9D and a few others

[@ProfFit1910]

I miss the lanz glühkopf engine. It could burn anything you wanted it to

[@ludvig3835]

The Volvo T43 tractor in the 40s had an interesting engine called the Hesselman engine which was basically a gasoline engine made to run on diesel.

If you can, do a video on the last carbed engines… also do a video on the last inline OHV engines

[@TheSlowDude]

I'm in on this one

[@kimpatz2189]

You can't go last on the carby engine. As any gasoline engine that only runs on a magneto coil and a pull start is gonna only use a carburetor. No fancy injectors and sensors can be found on hand held grass trimmers or chainsaws as no one wants to lug a unit around with pressure pumps and a battery. As for OHV, you can't find any last OHV as its still being used on the same products that use carburetor lawn mowers. The very mechanical simplicity and better efficiency compared to a flathead makes OHV a common valve layout found on any small engine. Even the marine engines opted to use OHV as those engines are not likely gonna scream to any greater than 1000rpm. OHC can only be beneficial if you run past 3k rpm and you now need have a valve layout that is reciprocatingly light and responsive. OHV tends to be best suited for constant power applications without hell screaming rpm. And no chain or belt slack to worry about.

[@Flies2FLL]

-One little secret that no auto manufacturer has exploited so far is that you CAN indeed use a spark plug to ignite a diesel power stroke. The reason this is not done is simplicity, but also, the plug will foul quickly. Try it, I did: I ran my lawnmower with a mixture of 75% diesel and 25% gasoline one day just to see what would happen, and while it was down on power, it got the job done with little fuss and ran fine afterwards after I drained the tank. The plug was FOULED though. There is the problem: The spark plug will foul, but the solution is an extremely powerful ignition system that can literally blow this fouling off. It can and has been done, but the cost is prohibitive and with a diesel you don't need the spark anyway, so that is why you don't see it.

[@bucyruserie8959]

My grandfather had a Farmall MD had that same diesel engine he said it wasn't worth anything except for pulling a hair egg and I had a 1952 international West coaster semi truck that had the same big engine as the td-24 180 horse it started on gasoline you switched to diesel let me tell you it was great when it was bitter cold cuz you could start it let it warm up on about a 5 gallon can of gas throw the lever in the cab and she'd run as a diesel and just run all day

[@jameshathaway5117]

As someone who owns a deuce I have to say it will run on anything that burns. That and the ldt 465 probably has more misinformation running around the internet than any other engine out there.

Want more videos on this topic! Maby even one video covering this topic in more detail? Having a hard time finding any sorce of info about how they work or are made.

For the deuce engine at least, research the MAN Hypercycle. That should get you started on the theory of operation used.

Gas turbine engines will run on anything that will burn.

[@kimpatz2189]

The very best engine to be multifueled. Thats why they are a staple to the power production industry as they can burn the lightest flammable gas to the heaviest most non viscous bunker fuel ever known. Even powdered coal can be used.
