Just like any old diesel they aren't picky

Did some research. Apparently, M.A.N. Invented it, Its called a hypercycle engine, and it works basically like a diesel. It has a fuel density compensator in the injector pump to make it spray less of a more volatile fuel. The injectors squirt instead of spray, and the fuel burns as it spreads across a cup in the piston. I read it eats up injector pumps to run them on straight gasoline. They recommend at least a quart of oil per 10 gallons of gas. Pretty neat, i always wondered how these worked...

A regular diesel will run away on gasoline, melt the pistons at the least, and cause severe damage to the injector pump.

Looks like most of those had turbocharged 465 cubic inch motors, and made 134 hp, and 330 ft lbs of torque. Quite a trade off for being able to run on most anything.

Not what I ment but they'll run on bio fuel used oil used cooking grease etc.

Those are very similar fuels compared to diesel vs gasoline vs alcohol vs motor oil.

Thanks, he got a new job and can't take it with him, its a sweet truck with the multi-fuel engine, it'll run on almost anything that'll burn.

Could it run on bug spray I here it's flammable
