Don,
I will try and do some research on the Fiat. For that hp, it must be a
turbo diesel.
As for the fuel, the French guru of Diesel, Serge Pennec, says you can use
Jet A1 in a conventional Diesel. All you have to do is mix it with a bit
of oil.

Netters:
I read an article in the Oct. 26th Wall Street Journal that drew my
attention to Fiat's 1.3 liter (1259 cc) Diesel engine that is being used
in many Euro small cars. This peeked my interest in light of a couple of
entrys that appeared on this forum so I investigated on the net.
The performance specs for that engine are 69 hp and 125 ft. lb of torque
at 2000 rpm which is interesting. What I have not been able to find is
the weight of this engine with its injector pump and all things needed to
make it run plus of course the cooling and electrical systems.
I invision then that it would need to find "Jet A" or the diesel fuel used
by the military to be acceptable.
Are their any KR-Netters out there that can obtain weights and reliability
info on this engine? This may need to come from some of Non-USA
contributers since diesel are not all that common here.
