Sounds like a smart move Roy!
What sort of revs at top speed? I didnt take much notice of the stroke of the motor. Some of those have such long strokes that you have to limit the max revs to keep the piston speed down to a reasonable level. No point in having it screaming its heart out !
Those slow revving diesel motors normally run on just about anything you choose to put in the tank. The pistons are that strong & slow at the top of the stroke, the fuel has sufficient time to burn properly.
