Don't see any benefits.

I dont either. And some real downsides for most.

Harder to start,

Yes with small engines.

possibly needs a glow plug that you'd have to run off electricity to
start.

Never had that with any of the diesel generators I used extensively.

Higher emissions.

Not necessarily, particularly with small 2 stroke gas engines.

Higher compression ratios are needed making it tougher to pull start.

Longer life engines. Thats why we used diesel generators.

Damned nuisance to have to keep separate cans of more than one
fuel and diesel is much more messy and stinks much worse in cans.
