No,No,No,No,No!

Not enough "Lubricity" in Diesel Fuel (Of any kind) to protect your engine's
bearing surfaces under load conditions.
Not Even the thought of a "Powered Revolution"!
You'll be Begging for trouble!

Disclaimer:Your Engine ,Your Pleasure!

Think about this though...We Pre-lube the Bearing surfaces of a New or Re-manned Engine with a special assembly lube to protect the Bearings from
damage,JUST UNTIL THE OIL PRESSURE COMES UP!

The Bearing surfaces "Ride" on a WAVE of Lubricating Oil.

I don't know if it's possible...BUT...
It would be funny as Hell if the Heat and Compression of the Loaded Bearing surfaces Ignited the Diesel being used as a "Cleaning" agent...That'd be a
real mess![Great idea for a "Mythbuster's" Episode]

A couple of sumps of Synthetic Oil will clean "all" the funk out of an Engine.
