I'm not 100% but I think that would require an ignition source(spark plugs), since I don't think propane would ignite from compression alone (unlike Diesel)

I also realized thinking about it later that the lines and injector pump wouldn't get cleaned out in that setup.

I don't know about LPG, but a natural gas diesel engine usually uses a tiny amount of diesel (idle, or less) injected in as the ignition source and the amount of methane controls the power.

A good setup would be to run BioDiesel + WVO, or if you can get ahold of that bio-diesel that's refined similarly to dino-diesel, then you're laughing.
