I did not see anywhere where it said it ran on gasoline.

Edit:- ok ...saw it in initial writeup.

Although, it still operates like the 70 year old model engine diesel so not really new technology.
I doubt that gasoline alone will suffice and it will need an ignitor like ether to work.

In the late 50's Dad had a racing go-kart with an extremely high compression victa engine that would diesel at times but no where near what one would call "running".
Lumpy and irratic idle would be more precise.
