Does the diesel have a turbo?
One of the problems with trying to burn hydrogen in a gasoline engine is hydrogen doesn't burn it explodes even in air through a very wide range of concentrations and it ignites with very little energy input. Adding hydrogen to a gasoline engine would be like trying to inject diesel, in effect lowering the gasolines octane rating.

No, no turbo. Yet anyhow. I kind of dream of getting one some day.
I hear you with hydrogen. It's touchy stuff. I think in a super lean burn operation the combustion chamber temperatures could be made low enough to use it. But it's not looking good for hydrogen right now, at least to me.
