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.

 

The closest your buddy should ever get to oil is making fries at McDonalds.He MUST have the best smoke in school.

 

Lmao!

It's guys like that who made me want to learn how to fix my own trucks.

 

Wow were you serious about this? The kid is retarded...

 

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

 

That's about all you can say; typically when people have hit that level of stupidity there's no talking them down. They just can't use that dime sized brain of theirs to grasp the fact that they're wrong. Too busy using the rest of their brain capacity figuring out how to reverse engineer a functional cornerstone to our world... If only all of our diesels used a carb and were show worthy. We'd all starve and I'm pretty sure the Germans would rise to finish what they started in WWII... They lost bc of pud pounders like this guy
