...I'll bet it would run on diesel just fine, but I wouldn't ride in that plane!.. The fuel caps are placarded, JET-A ONLY. The reason the engine was engineered for Jet-A is that Jet-A is available at every major airport on the planet and diesel fuel is not. If diesel were permitted, some

Hi, All. You lot are making me feel ancient. JP4 was the latest thing when I was in the R.A.F. We had AvGas (100+ octane aviation fuel) AvCat, AvTag, AvTur and other NATO stuff, all long gone by now. What comes next, a space ship with a deck full of peanut plants to fuel an alternate fuel
