in europe bmw, and other companys are useing diesel all over. the only reason its not in the states is because of refinery costs of diesel
it would cost ONE PENNY MORE to refine the diesel to make it clean burning like the european vehicles.
diesel is in the future, but not untill the goverment will allow it.

didn't Kawasaki make a Mule with a diesel?
translation please?
if you are saying that diesels can't have more hp then a car, then you don't know diesels well [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
that's over 300hp. Go to the ford site and see how many hp the new Mustang has, or even the old Camaros.
Diesels don't rev high like gas engines, they are designed to put out more torque then hp. Most new trucks with turbo diesels put out ~600lb/ft of torque and half the horsepower. Usually waaaay down in the rpm range, like below 2000 rpm.

Courtesy of the Dodge website: The Dodge Ram Heavy Duty Cummins Turbo is an inline 6 cylinder diesel engine that produces 610 pounds-feet of torque at 1,600 RPM and 325 horsepower at 2,900 RPM from 5.9 liters of displacement. With Common-Rail Direct Injection, this is one quiet diesel engine.

Is it possible, sure. Several manufacturers already have diesel offerings in the side by side class. There are two main reasons holding this type of engine back from atv use though. First, they are a very heavy engine that makes a lot of low end torque, but they don't like to rev out very high. Second, you really need to have some sort of turbo/supercharger to make good HP. That and the fact that diesels are costlier to produce in the first place would put any decent atv at a pricepoint disadvantage in comparison to current offerings. Personally, I think atvs are better suited to higher revving gas engines.
ZimRaptor, I know you are a one of our northern friends, but maybe you should do a little research into what runs the US military. We have several applications of very high horse diesels, the Abrahms being a primary example. Diesel fuel actually has more potential to make power than gas, yet is less volatile. If you could get a diesel to turn high RPMs like a gas motor, I would bet on the diesel to make more HP also.
