A diesel has anywhere from 200:1 to about 13:1. It depends on load.
Diesels are very different from gas engines. Gas engines need to run near stoichiometry, which as you noted is 14.7:1. They run a bit richer at WOT. Diesels don't do this. They run very at idle, and get progressively richer at higher loads.
