I tested my new K140E today on kero and diesel. This is what the numbers were. Very interesting.

Diesel idle 528c PW 056 Thrust 1# 4oz
full 614c PW 261 Thrust 25# 14oz

Kero idle 534c PW 055 Thrust 1# 2oz
full 612c PW 268 Thrust 25# 10oz

So I lost about 17.33% at 7400 ft alt that is real good most lose around 20 to 24% difference between kero and diesel is 1%

Thanks for sharing your data George! Your numbers concur with ours in using Diesel. At sea level, the difference is even more prominent. All in all, Diesel is more efficient, and talk about convenience!

Cheers,
Barry
