Now, i wonder if you could have a duel fuel/duel ignition system where
it ran on gasoline for acceleration and on diesel for constant speed.



NO NO NO! Never let a diesel breath gas fumes! 21:1 compression will
self-ignite any type of vapor. The resulting "knock" will push the piston
rod right through the piston....just like in a pre-igniting gas engine.
You cannot turn a high compression diesel engine into a low compression gas
engine. Put it out of your mind.....

If you want more diesel power...buy a diesel with more cylinders:
or one with bigger cylinders....(c;

is 108,000 HP enough? It runs on near crude oil, not diesel at
