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?RegardsDave
