As I understand it, the heat yield of diesel fuel is higher than for glow fuel, but the air-mix ratio is higher for glow fuel so that glow fuel produces slightly more power than diesel fuel. Maybe AsI understand it . . . is an overstatement! Has anyone ever published a comparison of power curves for a glow engine and the same engine converted to diesel?
I hope to be able to do a dyno plot before and after of a converted engine this summer. I've never seen more than some prop figures. And we know not all engines respond the same way to conversion.
