I pondered diesel in a 3 main boxer. I went though a spell of wrong fuel, and it burned it. even took on the rattling valvetrain of diesel. As if 137 ft pounds sucking through a straw at 45mpg on 87 octane wasn't amazing... waht would the true balanced engine do with diesel. ... cross the line of unbelievable and get killed? that would be just like the 3 main boxer on gas.
A boxer on diesel would be like dividing by zero, from the perspective of efficiency/performance.
