Hi All,
Whilst I understand the disgust at the price of diesel, it isnt very relevant
to the discussion.
As I understand it diesel aircraft engines are actually run on kero/JetA1, due
to diesel having high viscosity/wax solidification problems at low temp. (At
least this was the case of a modern diesel aircraft that visited our club a
while ago)
I remember a story my father told me of his days of trucking in the UK when in
winter they had to put a blowtorch on the fuel lines and tank to start the
motors of their trucks!
Not to useful for aviation methinks. Now what is the price of kero/JetA1?
Regards
Dave
