Compression ignition is the principle of a Diesel engine. The fuel it runs on is immaterial. For example a compression ignition engine running on peanut oil is still a Diesel engine. In fact, that is precisely THE definitive diesel engine.

So: Peanut oil, olive oil, soy oil, corn oil, canola oil, sesame oil, corn oil, cannibis oil, WVO, Beef tallow, white grease, yellow grease, brown grease, fish oil, snake oil, buffalo tallow, water buffalo talllow, or biodiesel made from any of the above are all viable Diesel fuel as long as the engine is designed for that fuel. Similarly, #2D, #1D, Jet A, Jet anything, #1 fuel oil, #2 fuel oil, #3 fuel oil, #4 fuel oil, #5 fuel oil, #6 fuel oil, kerosene, and blends of any of the above with any petroleum distillate are all viable fuels for a Diesel engine designed for that fuel.


Is it compression-ignition?
