Re: Diesel in a high compression gas motor?

The most popular diesel compression ratios are around 17 and 18 to 1.
Allowing fuel to be dumped into the intake of a diesel is a great way to make it scatter. If you want to stand there and watch you could catch a rod or piston in the face.
Diesel gets injected directly into the cylinder not into the intake tract like a gas engine. The start of injection is also ignition timing.
GM already had a 350 to diesel engine conversion, it was junk!
I highly recommend not trying this, especially if your trying to use a carb to put fuel into the engine.
