But, it wouldn't work. So, he turned to peanut oil, which ran like an

Sorry for the pun, but isn't "automobile" a play on the Otto

Could nano powdered coal be made to work in a Diesel? Effectively?
Efficiently?

Yes, but the burn tines are still too slow for modern high speed
engines. You'd need to run about 250 RPM to make it work well.
