As for a “FLEXBOOST” Diesel those usually independently inject a diesel “spark plug” to ignite another fuel like e85 or CNG.

This requires separate tanks and a control system, works very well to give a naturally aspirated diesel both fuel economy, simplicity, emissions and power,
Sadly it appears unlikely to happen due to things called laws which have different emissions requirements for diesel or gasoline which would make a real dual fuel beast aftermarket at best,

ah well.
