Some glows are rugged enough to make good diesels, most including the rather lightly constructed examples from the fifties and sixties aren’t.
A good rule of thumb is how does the glow run on 30% nitro? If it can survive that it will probably hold together as a diesel.
I'd guess that this one won't, and what’s the point anyway. There are lots of fine small diesels available from Ebay.
