It would be interesting to see someone convert a propane fridge to run on diesel. The Amish have refrigerators which use kerosene lanterns to create the heat source, so it shouldn't be technically difficult to do. Since the buses carry a rather large diesel supply and many are trying to get away from propane, converting the burner to use diesel seems like a good idea.
To have one of them, would you need to change your last name to Yoder and grow half a beard?  Just wonderin'   I'm surprised those folk haven't yet found a way to burn horse dung as a heat source.   Maybe we could repurpose a 1970s GM RV's Thermasan for that instead?   Gotta think outside the box here.

I used to have a travel trailer with a propane fridge. Every spring and sometimes in the middle of summer I would have to clean the spider nest out of the gas line. In the 12 years I've had a 120v fridge in the bus I've not had to do anything to it but turn it on.
