Default RE: rc diesel engines?

As others have said, no. Glow engines and model diesel engines are both 'diesel' engines by definition, but they cannot burn automotive diesel fuel. Most full size auto diesel engines work by compressing and superheating air, then injecting fuel straight into the cylinder. This would not be possible with a small, model size engine.
