Lynn,
As I recall, diesel engines use the fuel that also provides
lubrication. The direct injection 6 cyl. Mercedes 300SL GAS fuel pump
was of a a very special design. While it "looked" like a 6 cyl. diesel
pump, it was sealed and lubricated to pump gas. And very expensive,
running $1200 rebuild in 1960's.
I am not sure how your diesel engine is lubricated, but it is a
consideration.
