That the diesel engine wasn’t originally ran on diesel fuel. (In college I was led to believe that it was hemp oil). It was actually peanut oil and later they tried hemp oil.

    I'm not trying to be a smartass, but wouldn't the name "diesel fuel" be assigned after a certain substance was found to be the optimal fuel for a diesel engine?

    I know it's a week later but this has been weighing on my mind.

    It has to be such right? I wouldn't develop Krudler Fuel, with the hopes that in a couple years I will have completed development on the new Krudler Engine.

    That scenario would make no sense and illustrates that the naming of the fuel must have come later.
