It appears that it does run on diesel. However, it has to be a
pressurized source. They sell a tank with a hand operated air pump but
this would have to be hand filled through a funnel which would be a
real pain.

There is an item in their FAQ's about using a fuel pump but not much
detail. That's an attractive idea because it might get back to the
"T" off the main fuel supply. Hooking the pump up a fire detector and
emergency shut off would be a lot safer than having a pressurize
source of diesel in the boat.

OTOH our boat has two molded cockpit lockers for propane tanks. It's
an unusual feature and might be worth taking advantage of.

I had the propane version which did a great job with a 30' boat -
but make sure the diesel version burns #2 diesel (engine fuel) and
not just #1.
