I know this is just anecdotal but my father was a big fan of gas as well and really resisted diesel. In 1990 we bought a Heston windrower with a 15 foot draper head. It has a slant six engine (gas) for power.
There was a factory update for the gas versions because you could get gas fumes in the cab. When we got the update we were told by the factory that they sold 6 gas versions. The gas versions were phased out shortly after.
It is going to take a huge change to get farmers off of diesel.

I am not a fan of the EPA but I think by and large the problems with the new diesels are blown out of proportion. Yes there are some engines that have problems but by and large most all are working just fine.
