The point is to make a NEW multi-fuel engine. I know a lot of people would probably like a smaller version of the multifuel that they could use to run small generators and the like. So if we are okay with omitting gasoline, it sounds like a 5.9 with a p-pump is probably the way to go. So we know...

Well, I suppose in the kind of scenario many of us try to plan for then gas would probably be the least available fuel, not to mention how fast it goes bad anyways. The ones you listed are definitely going to be more common, so if we kept it to those we can probably account for 95% of all the...

That is assuming the casting has the injector angle cast into it. It probably does, but there is always a slim chance it does not. Perhaps we are thinking too big at the moment. It would probably be loads easier and cheaper to take something like an old couple HP diesel engine from a lawnmower...

That does look like it could be a promising avenue. It looks like they cast a lot of the stuff themselves, I wonder if they could be talked into supplying an un-machined head, if there would be enough material to work with. Otherwise we're gonna need to cast our own heads or machine them from a...

I suppose this is where I'm really proving that I'm new to this game, but is there any particular reason full time boost from a small supercharger isn't an option? Will the engine fail to start or will something break? I know some of the old Detroit diesels had superchargers on them so they were...

So it looks like we would most likely need to increase the piston height to alter the compression ratio. I do know that we would need to shape the cup in the piston and modify the injectors to inject a stream, I am just looking at it piece by piece. I don't know the ideal design for the piston...

Re-Hash: Building a new multifuel engine I have done a lot of reading of this thread and I thought I would chime in with my ideas and see what the members here think. Full disclaimer: I am not a diesel mechanic, have never worked on a diesel, and don't own a deuce (YET!) and iv only done a...
