I'm not including the pre-war version, it's too old.

Well with that sentence I was trying to make a joke so it seemed a full list of all the engines would be tedious - brevity is the soul of wit!
You didn't include at least in passenger cars the MB OM602, OM603, and I have an 81 Datsun 810 wagon that I imported to my little place in the Bahama's from Miami that has an LD28 a six cylinder 90 HP indirect injection that is an extremely solid oil burner, I brought it over there in 1987 and have never needed anything but fluids and filters since, running about 5 or 6000 miles a year on it.
Got a Yanmar TF70 and a 12HP China diesel over there as well, the Yanmar is very solid but a bit more refined and the China is a rude and crude beast that runs a bit rougher but will probably run for ever all patched up. I also had a fantastic Yanmar D36 diesel outboard it was so fantastic it was stolen when I was back home here in the States.
Nothing like all these Luddite diesels but really really interesting is the new diesel outboards now being distributed by Yanmar produced by the German company Neander. A bit pricey but I'm strongly considering a pair to power a 19 foot Mako I keep over there.
"The Neander Shark outboard develops 50 hp using a small 800 cm3 turbocharged, twin- cylinder diesel aluminum engine with common-rail fuel injection and a unique dual counter-rotating
crankshaft. "This means that the outboard is not only light, powerful, clean and fuel-efficient, it is also remarkably smooth in operation as the two crankshafts counterbalance each other and cancel out most of the vibration that a conventional inline two-cylinder diesel block could be expected to produce"
Google Neander for it's high end diesel porn!
