I guess I should ask that question out loud.

I have to have a diesel. I make biodiesel. It's enviro friendly, etc etc etc. Plus, the diesel engine is inherently more thermodynamically efficient. I have hunted around a lot to find a diesel that meets all the criteria, size, weight, max power around 25 hp, water cooled, electric start, parts are available, etc. I really like the Isuzu b/c of their very good durability. But this group has access to a lot of knowledge. Am I overlooking the ideal power plant?

But I would be open to suggestions if somebody knows of either a 4 cyl (less vibration) or some boxer configuration diesel (inherently balanced, no extra efficiency robbing "balance shafts") for lower center of gravity. Not too spendy would also be good. <3,000 bucks would be my price range.

Finest regards,
