A diesel engine fundamentally operates on the principle of compression ignition, where the high compression of air in the cylinder ignites the diesel fuel. Propane, on the other hand, is a gas at atmospheric conditions and requires a spark ignition system. Technically, a diesel engine cannot run on propane alone due to these engineering discrepancies.
However, with significant modifications, including the addition of a spark ignition system, it is possible to convert a diesel engine to run on propane or to operate on dual fuel, using propane as an additional fuel alongside diesel. This dual fuel approach can reduce diesel consumption and emissions but requires careful calibration to manage the ignition and combustion processes effectively. Therefore, while not straightforward, with enough modification and investment, utilizing propane in a diesel engine setup is achievable, albeit with caveats regarding performance, emissions, and engine longevity.
