Hey guys, Im not sure if someone has done it already, but I was wondering if the design of the rotary would ever be able to handle diesel?

Gas prices are going up, and I have been looking at all the great benefits of diesel. Just curious

Wasn't the rotary originally design as a diesel engine?

 

I'm not sure. Im not 100%, but I think felix wankel designed them for airplanes at first.

Thanks for the info TulsaTurbo.
