Carbeurated diesel
#21
High octane gasoline has a much higher autoignition temperature than Diesel fuel. Methanol and propane don't typically ignite until the Diesel fuel is injected; high octane gasoline isn't as resistant to detonation as propane or methanol, but it is resistant enough that fumigating it into the cylinder of a Diesel engine with a carburetor is vaguely feasible.
To work the "carburetor" would need to be modified to do what you want; I wouldn't think you'd do it with throttle plates, so without the throttle it would be dumping gas in at all times. I imagine that fumigated gasoline at low load would just pass through as ridiculous hydrocarbon emissions, not hurt the engine but really burn the eyes; that's what about 10 LPM of propane does at idle on a dyno. You'd want it under boost, that's where you'd stand to make power... So if you were going to do it I'd advocate using a fuel injection system, which would look really similar to a water/methanol injection system. Also, if you inject water along with the gasoline, it will make detonation much less likely.

Lol! Yes BRE, he's totally serious. I along with everyone else in the world say he's a tard but he's determined to make it work. He says "it will just be a show truck to say it can be done, don't plan to actually use it". At this point we all just say ok man whatever floats your boat
