That seems simple enough... replace the gas A4 with a diesel :)

Diesel doesn't vaporize easily, unlike gasoline.
That's one of its big advantages on boats, that
it's non-volatile. It's good practice to shut
down the engine at the fuel dock anyway, but
they're probably asking that more as a general
policy due to the gasoline boats they fill (or
in case some gasoline vapors wafted over to your boat).Â
The flash point (vaporization temp) of diesel is 126 F:Â

I am pretty sure vaporized diesel will blow up
like gasoline vapor. I know vaporized cooking
fat will. Donât most of the fuel docks ask
you to shut down the engine and run the fan while fueling?Â
I had never thought of it as an air supply for the engine. Â
