Does that engine work on petrol / diesel at all?

It will also work on diesel...

But it's not a two-stroke diesel engine, is it?

But diesel isn't it's primary fuel, is it?

It will also work on diesel...

It can run happily on diesel, but a side-effect of the design is that it can also run on something less common.

Yes!

I just browsed your car-museum list, and this one is not on it!

pnegyesi · « **Reply #39 on:** January 15, 2010, 02:50:29 PM »

I am working on a new one, and Germany is a country which I have yet to browse through

guido66 · « **Reply #40 on:** January 15, 2010, 02:52:28 PM »

You can add this one when it's solved

Elsbett-engine by Ludwig Elsbett, wow nice museum

The absence of water radiator gives him the reason. Didn't know this type of engine but it's quite interesting!
