Re: [biofuel] Re: alternatives for methanol
'diesel' model airplane engines are diesels in the sense that they operate in the same principal, but they run on a much lighter fuel so that it will ignite. They cannot run on 'dino' diesel, biodiesel, or SVO. -- -- Martin Klingensmith http://infoarchive.net/ http://nnytech.net/ Bruce Colley wrote: There are a number of diesel model airplane engines available, and I don't see why if you heated the SVO, that it wouldn't work.

If you e-mail him to get on his list, you can see what is available. I would be very interested in your results.
