Guess the only way to stop this type of accident is to get that new
Diesel on the market?

Only if you also eliminate all kinds of fuel but Jet-A, and mandate that
every single airplane be retrofitted with a diesel.

In other words...duh, getting a new diesel on the market isn't going to do
anything "top stop this type of accident".

In fact, getting small single-engine diesel prop planes on the market
will *add* to the confusion -- right now, small single-engine planes
can be relatively safely assumed to be gasoline-powered. (Sure, I
know one shouldn't fuel based on just assumption; but unusual
instructions can and should be double-checked, and that would
eliminated *some* mistakes.)
