We running our turbines on diesel, until this saturday the run time of our 7 engines are 210 hs, 2 jetcats back from service ( after 50 hs on P80se and 28 on p140rx ) without any problem or damage or cocking, all bearings, ngv, turbine and combustion chamber, absolutely clean.
the engines has more power, and starts fast ( litle bit more seconds than jeta on fuel ramp ), fuel comsuption same or less than jeta.
but, after many hours running the engines i mixed 70/30 ( diesel / jeta ), less smoke.
4% oil mix ( today mobil dte 32 ).
i have pics of my bearings after 50 hs. In one word : perfects!!
