One good use for a gas engine is to start a diesel!! I recall when I was a kid, there was a construction shop behind a friends house. I remember seeing a large Cat with a large diesel engine, that had a smaller gas engine as a starter engine! :)
Its called a Pony motor. They didn't have electric starters strong enough to turn over larger Diesels way back then.
