Is it possible to use a diesel engine?

Refer to your owners manual and compare their recommended SAE oil ratings to the SAE designations on the castrol

Refer to your owners Manuel. Newer diesels require a special oil because of the urea injection into your exhaust. If you don't use recommended oil you will ruin this system.

you can use diesel fuel but it will not burn as clean. I personally would not. It will smell and need more service. I used to work for a rental company that had lots of these kind of heaters. Diesel is not as clean burning.

I would assume so... You could have a fuel line splitter or... Attach a manual valve which directs the flow towards on line or another. My engine sucks the fuel and does not require an electric pump. But if I needed to run a separate motor, I am sure there is a safe way to do it somehow.

Diesel fuel can be used but it will have an odor, especially if in an enclosed space. Outdoors, may be able to stand the odor.would suggest making a deal with local airport to use Jet-A. This is an extremely good quality kerosene. I run Jet-A without PRST (additive to prevent algae growth and jelling at altitude) in the 3 heaters I have like this one.

Here's the pro temp web site. http://www.protemp.us/Oil_Fired_Radiant_Heating.php They have the owners manual for down load. It says diesel can be used. But from my experience with torpedo heaters the sulfur bus station smell is not worth the $.25 -.50 / gal. price difference.

I use it on a gas motor and it works fine. I can not think of why it would not work for diesel.

It should, I haven't tried it with diesel, but in my research I found one user who reported that his worked excellently with diesel fuel. He used it as a transfer pump from a bed mounted tank to the normally used stock tank.

Yes, of course. If it has electric fuel injectors you can use it. No matter who makes it.

Short answer is no. You could possibly hook up a variable speed controller but that might burn out the motor - haven't tried this.

I suppose that you could, but it is very noisy .... like a mini-jet engine.

Yes you can. The "how" is always a question of having all the necessary parts and a little bit of know how with ordinary tools. You are better off buying a whole kit from one of the suppliers like Hydro Club USA that puts together all the things you need such as a water tank, hoses and clamps, wires and so on along with step by step instructions. One of the key issues is to have a way to take care of the fact that your on board computer won't understand this new fuel mix. So you need a special electronic device to balance things out. This is all easy to do when the company you buy from has a good technical support team to walk you through and difficulties. You need more than the HHO generator but when you save about a quarter of your fuel bill the added expense and effort will pay for itself many times over!

Not any type of fuel, it must white gas (like Coleman fuel - big red metal can) or unleaded gas, from a gas station. No DIESEL!

You can use on a marine diesel unless your boat is Coast Guard approved for taking passengers for hire. In that case you would want to use the UL approved 500MA series.

This is not designed for use with diesel fuel or to be used with typical diesel injector pressures. Sorry for any confusion.
