Jetcat on diesel
Well I tried diesel on my 2005 P-120 with Kerostart and it shutoff showing hot temp. Was running then shutoff. Switched back to JET A perfect. I guess my engine doesn’t like diesel! My manual does say if the pump voltage is to high flames may come out of the back. That I did see. Here is the message.

I scrolled thru the menus and couldn’t find it. I did lower the pump voltage slightly since a note in the Jetcat warned about long flames etc. tried again and it worked. The set voltage was at .175. I lowered it to .150. I set it back to .175 and it worked also. Maybe it was an anomaly. The diesel smokes a lot it was funny. Here is my idle temp.

Hello, I am new to turbines,
In my case a P180RX that is still working with JET A1, but where I live (Uruguay) it is difficult to get that fuel so at some point I am going to switch to diesel
Can it be said that if
I do a test on the ground by accelerating the turbine, and checking the temp
the temperature drops later in flight?
Regards!

The kerosene available in uruguay cannot be used in these turbines
has a red tint that leaves a lot of residue when burned, Bad kero
We have here a jetcat that we sent to service in Germany with a kero sample,
all injectors clogged
They denied us to use that fuel.- Hehe

Kerosene from the bulk plant or in cans from the likes of Home Depot, is clear.
ANYTHING tinted red is considered off road uses "Farm" and is not subject to the fuel taxes associated with gasoline or diesel. In my neck of the woods, I have never seen anything but diesel tinted red.
