Ruston VSH, will it eat VVO?

[gegenkolben]

I've been offered a single cylinder Ruston VSH in VGC. It's been a stand-by unit somewhere and apparently it was never needed. Google is telling Ruston and Lister had some kind of co-operation in pre-war days and some of their products had similarities. The VSH range is direct-injected. Does this rule out the use of VVO as fuel? The Ruston will reach 1500 rpm, this will, I guess, affect the longevity? I'd like to generate electricity and possibly heat, so maybe I'll keep searching that CS?
