MP Jets Diesel Hybrid, hot starts
This clip illustrates that it's the HEAT that allows a diesel engine to run on a no ether fuel . With the magic castor and Amsoil mix, sufficient heat is generated on a few prime runs to allow a start. With the motor oil and MEKP though, it's a no go. I suspect, however, that though both fuels take the engine up to the same temperature, it's the castor/Amsoil mix that allows a run at a slightly lower temperature.
I did need to overcompress, a small amount, even for a hot start. However, note the no prime start just after shutdown and before the engine cools off . This was with the compression at the final run position. Once again, IT'S THE HEAT that lets our diesel engines run on compression ignition alone.

diesel engines use glow plugs to start the engine… after that its all compression
Partly correct. …
Partly correct. Glow fuel powered (nitro) engines require a glow plug.
Model DIESEL engines do not. They only require that the compression ratio be adjusted to match the diesel, fuel formula used. This is done by using an adjustable contr-piston. Notice the adjustment, T-Bar on this engine. No glow clip attached to start.

petrol cars use a spark plug which constantly sparks to ignite the fuel, diesel and nitro model engines use glow plugs, which heat up the chamber and burns the fuel, eliminating the need for constant heat

Warren,
Sorry, I'm a very small engine guy. But I'm willing to bet that the Chinese have something. Do a search for a Direct, Chinese export website.
Thank you for your …
Thank you for your assistance.
I did go to there website and had a good look around– and it is amazing what's available for so few dollars.
My project requires an engine about the size of a Volkswagen Passat diesel.
And my intention is to identify a range of choices based on output, size, reliability, price, and availability (for more engines in the future)
Any suggestions?
Enya makes a small …
Enya makes a small four stroke diesel but it's a bit of a hybrid. It does not use variable compression to affect optimal combustion. I believe they have you play with the fuel formula to make it work. Do a search for Enya Diesel.

Where do I search? Thanks anyone…
