Most antifreeze will work in any engine. For diesel engines in general, use a good long life coolant that includes nitrates (red stuff). For regular (green) coolant, most diesel manufactures require you to add your own nitrates or DFCA to this mix to prevent pitting of the cylinder liners. Check with your engine manufacturer for specifics.

Can diesel 10w30 oil be used in gasoline truck engines?
It should not be.
What's the difference between unleaded and diesel fuel?
Unleaded fuel is used in gasoline engines, while diesel fuel is used in diesel engines. The main difference is in how the engines ignite the fuel - gasoline engines use spark plugs, while diesel engines use compression to ignite the fuel. Diesel fuel also has a higher energy density than unleaded fuel.
What is the mechanism used in diesel engines?
Compression
Do Toyota corolla cars in 1990's have diesel engines?
Yes, you can change the engine of a Toyota used car from diesel to petrol or LPG Gas. Some D2 engines are used in late models already have diesel engines.
Can NOS be used on a diesel engine?
Diesel engines use propane to go faster, only gas engines use NOS
Is there a carburetor in a diesel truck?
No. There are carbureted diesel engines, but they're mostly used in models.
Why can't spark plugs be used in diesel engines?
Diesel does not require a spark to combust.
What is diesel gas used for in vehicles and machinery?
Diesel gas is used as fuel in vehicles and machinery that have diesel engines. Diesel engines are commonly found in trucks, buses, tractors, and construction equipment. Diesel gas is preferred for its efficiency and power in heavy-duty applications.
What are the key differences between unleaded and diesel fuel, and how do these differences impact vehicle performance and efficiency?
Unleaded fuel is used in gasoline engines, while diesel fuel is used in diesel engines. The main difference is in their ignition process: gasoline engines use spark plugs to ignite the fuel, while diesel engines rely on compression to ignite the fuel. This difference affects performance and efficiency, as diesel engines typically have higher torque and better fuel efficiency compared to gasoline engines. Diesel fuel also has a higher energy density, which can result in better mileage for diesel vehicles. However, diesel engines tend to produce more emissions than gasoline engines.
Can not be used to produce gasohol?
Diesel fuel cannot be used to produce gasohol as gasohol is a blend of gasoline and ethanol. Diesel fuel is used in diesel engines while gasohol is typically used in gasoline engines. Mixing diesel fuel with ethanol to produce gasohol would not be compatible for engine operation.
Why are diesel engines not used in bikes?
Size, weight, drivability.
Are diesel engines more polluted than steam engines?
Of an individual diesel engine and an individual steam engine of the same energy output the diesel engine would be less polluting. It is far more efficient. However, there are far more diesel engines than steam engines in the world today so overall diesel engines pollute more than steam engines.
