Gotta hate the tree-huggers for their stupidity. Diesels nowadays are getting cleaner than gassers

I share your enthusiasm for diesels and prefer old school mechanical injection types for rugged reliability.
There is no school like the old school
Also, older Diesels are less prone to failures with alternative fuels.

I adapted a 6.5 GM turbodiesel to my old boat and it is powerful, fast, and fuel efficient.
It's not actually my favorite engine, but makes more sense to use in a boat than any gasser. As a last resource you'd be able to run it even on fish liver oil
