Question Multi-Fueled definition

I beleve the term 'multi-fuel' is possibly overused here, and it does not always refer to the total available fuel spectrum. Diesel fuel usage usually requires some substantial higher compression ratios so as to not require an ignition source. I think I detect an ignition distributor in the photos. And I don't know of many, or any certified diesel fueled small aircraft engines.

If they appeared at a marine show, one would think they would most definitely pronounce the use of diesel fuel, which they do not to my knowledge....just my observation
