Default RE: Black Smoke???

Hi All

I asked Tony about the K-80 grey / white smoke and he uses straight diesel with 5% oil I believe He said the soot was not too bad. I don't know if Taiwan has #1 or #2 Diesel from the pump.

I wanted to try it but have not had the time to do so yet. In Hawaii all we have is #2 Diesel and it's cloud point and Cetane rating are much farther away from Kero than # 1 Diesel, so we may need to add 10% gasoline like they do for the frank turbines in Germany.
