I am curious to know who killed Diesel and why? It is one of the world's greatest unsolved mysteries.

He was underway at the SS Dresden to Londen to sign a contract at the Consolidated Diesel Manifacturing Company. Because diesel as a new fuel was ready to be a commercial breakthrough.
Diesel as fuel was a massive danger to for the core businessmodel of the steam- and gasoline barons. It had more stationairy power, was more cost efficient and easy to use while steam-engines were expensive and harder to work with because they needed a continued flow of coal, water and manpower.
The diesel engine replaced the steam engine quickly in the heavy industry and in trains and ships and it became a rival for the gasoline motor because trucks, tractors and agriculture machines with their heavy power burned a lot of gasoline, while with a diesel engine they turned more cost efficient and burned 40% less for the same work.
And the diesel engine could also run on vegetable oils like sunflower, that was a very big problem for John D. Rockefeller - the great gasoline baron of Standard Oil - becaue his gasoline was expensive so diesel could shrink his overall market for refined products
He made Rudolf Diesel many offers to buy the patents of his engine, but Diesel rejectes it because his dream was to produce a free diesel fuel for everyone.
So Rockefeller killed Diesel and took his patents (like they did with Nicola Tesla) and they made it forbidden to throw vegetable oil in the diesel engine, and they made dieselfuel never free.
And now they are attacking and closing diesel refinerees worldwide (Russia, Saudi Arabia, Quwait, Bahrain) to create world famine.
