What? propane is naturally a gas at room temperature and when you compress it you eventually get a liquid, I don't think its possible to run it like a diesel you will just get a compressed gas. I think it is more similar to cars that run on methane (aka natural gas) or nitromethane (aka top fuel). But a diesel?
