Default Diesel fule?

Hello, I got a dumb question, is it possible to use diesel from the gas station pump? Also any diesel heads for a Tower Hobbies .75? Thanks

No Sir, that stuff will hardly burn with a match, you need to use a blend of ether, kerosene, castor and a couple of percentage points of an ignition enhancer. I strictly use Davis fuel, ABC mix for ball bearing engines and his Plane Fuel for bushing engines and PAWs, even though all of my PAWs are ball bearing they have steel pistons and liners and benefit from the additional oil in the Plane Fuel.
