Hello,

I'm curious regarding small diesel engines. I'm trying to find a small diesel to try driving a generator for DC generation. This is a simple feasibility inquiry that I'm trying to satisfy for myself as a hobby. Ideally I could run this engine for hours at a time, would be relatively efficient, and hopefully not break or wear down too easily.

I looked around and it appears most of the really small diesel stuff happens in the RC world which brought me here. I also stumbled upon small diesel heaters which to me might have been inspired by glow engines. I like that their fuel can be regulated by a sensor / pump.

I'm a novice to small diesel engines. Please feel free to correct me and have some understanding of my ignorance. Then I was wondering if some of you would be kind enough to make some recommendations on a diesel engine that I can use with regular diesel, to give it a shot.
