This is the smallest practical diesel I've seen and would work, priced right too. Any thoughts?
Diesel anyone?

Looks like it would be a fun project! It reminds me of the 18cc diesel friction drive. https://onlinebicyclemuseum.co.uk/1951-lohmann-18cc-diesel-engine-new-old-stock-unused/
Honestly, i could see it getting 200ish MPG with the correct gearing and you get the diesel torque. The main thing is getting that fuel injector rerouted so that it doesn't hit the bike's frame.

It would be cool if they knew which way the fuel filter went.
That's super cool FD. The lady seems so happy riding it.
Those small lawn and garden/generator style diesels usually vibrate a lot. They would make one of the 2 strokes seem smooth by comparison.

Isn't them old cox engines diesel they fit in a pocket
Some were Diesel powered via aftermarket heads but id say 80-90% were nitro powered. I've got a handful of the 051 049 and 020 airplane motors sitting on my garage lol. Super fun to mess around with when you have nothing else to do.
