Default Can I Run a Diesel Engine on any Engine Dynamometer?

I'm doing a research project on how biodiesel levels in fuel affect horsepower and fuel efficiency, and I'm having a lot of trouble setting up a test. First, I don't know if i should use an engine dynamometer or a chassis dynamometer. Second, I'm having trouble getting a car/bike/engine to run tests with. Any advice?

USING AN ENGINE DYNO WILL TAKE OUT ALL THE VARIABLES IN THE CHASSIS. FINDING A SHOP MAY BE DIFFICULT, LOOK FOR A DIESEL PERFORMANCE SHOP IN YOUR AREA.

Listed below you will find a listing of Dyno's across the country that were listed in the September issue of "Diesel Power" magazine. I would contact one of these shops close to you and ask them if they can help with obtaining the information you are looking for. I hope this helps... Good luck
