Diesel Stove?

I am building a BOT, and have several liquid stoves (old Colemans, and several vintage single burner mountaineering/ backpacking stoves (XGK, Whisperlite etc....). I am wanting to be able to run ALL needs from my main fuel stash DIESEL. So, that begs the question of a multi burner diesel stove. ?? I searched the Forums with some results to diesel suitability, ie XGK, and Whisperlite Intern'l, which I knew, is there anything out there I am missing? Say perhaps Euro military? Russian?
Thanks Ironwood

You might check marine chandlers. Many of the traditional stoves used on boats, particularly work boats, are fueled by diesel fuel. They tend to be pricey new but can often be found on E-Bay or at boat swap meets.

Good advice on mariners supply, came across "sailbynet" which is intriguing. I lived in Hawaii while in the Military and the "boat store" near Pearl Harbor was interesting, SO many cool things this "Blue Eyed Howlie Boy" had never seen. I will search that out.
Benghazi Burner and three young children likely does not mix, thanks for the education on what that is though.

Would something like this suit your needs? http://www.primuscamping.com/product.php?id=164 It is single burner. Does BOT stand for Bug Out Truck? If so, does that make the most sense in Hawaii? Isn't the biggest island roughly 100 miles by 80 miles? R

There are a few good choices out there...
Primus makes a good multi fuel stove with remote fuel container.
The MSR XKG EX and Whisperlite Internationals as mentioned.
Nova is making one now but i have no experience with it.
By far, my favourite for vehicle based stuff is still the Opitimus Hiker in whatever variation, the older 111 or the newer + version with the newer type burner.
One of the usual posters is our resident stove expert, hopefully he will chip in soon.

I used to live in Hawaii,.... BOT Bug Out Trailer.
Speaking of which I live in Pa. now, and came across this local company with a very innovative camper. It is called A Liner. I live fairly close and go by all the time (small little town with non discript building), MAN do they make a cool product, a non tradition pop up camper. I was passing by today and finally stopped. They give tours daily at 2pm M-Th. They could not have been nicer to me considering I am only sourcing scratch and dent parts, ie windows, stove, refrigerator, leveling jacks,...... It takes lot to impress me especially when it comes to RV, which I think are mostly poor quality, add to that I weld,blacksmith, sawmill, woodwork, invent and design all sorts of stuff. This is the coolest RV product I think I have seen.
