Had a thought Andy, ever try or think of tyring to "pre-heat" the kerosene fuel. A simple coil of a couple of turns mounted inside the muffler would warm the fuel some and might aid in combustion maybe resulting in a bit lower compression; wouldn't help starting however.


Did you get you get out to the airport and inquire about the Jet-A ??

cheers, Graham

Graham,

That's a great idea. Taking that a step further, how about a marine type water jacket with the fuel helping to cool the engine and at the same time getting a preheat. Where to get small diameter copper tubing locally, plumbing and heating outfits?

Called the airport too late yesterday, thanks for reminding me.
