I was mainly thinkin of the basics here. You know air flow picks up the fuel then as yer rollin down hill you pop the clutch and eventually you'll get enough heat or pressure to fire. Just purely theoretical. I don't know how well it would work and haven't done that much research on how the early diesels worked. I think Mr. Diesel used a carb, I know he used veggie or peanut oil. This way no spark is needed. I plan on lookin in to it some more.
