RE: Diesel
probably nothing, kero and diesel are not that different in fact some makes say you can run them on diesel, i wish they all did it finding fuel would be a lot easyer.
just not been brave enough to try it myself

RE: Diesel
We are trying Diesel in alot of diffrent engines, they do run fine. K170 Kerostart works great, even the little Lambert Kolibri(9oz engine) runs perfect on Diesel. Only noticable diffrence is a bit of white smoke when shutting down.

RE: Diesel
I see no reason why any model turbine wont run on diesel the $64,000 question is what is the long term effect on running diesel in a engine not made to do so. Just
to be clear i'm not refering to Kingtech because they are made to run diesel.

RE: Diesel
I tried bio diesel and wasnt really happy with it. Diesel also makes a stickier mess than Kero/JetA when spilled. <div>

So what's going to happen to a Jetcat P-20 P-120, Munts K90 K140 or Wren SS turbines if I run them on diesel & 5% oil ?

The combustion chamber needs to be re designed, fuel needles filters all need changes.

They will all run rough! The P-20 will be the worst, will also run for least amount of time before the sooty Diesel cloggs the tiny needles with carbon deposits, the pump Diesel also has other additives for car use...JetCat for sure will offer no warrantee...

Nope Diesel is $9.24 a US (3.9ltr) Gallon....
Highest grade Parafin, no smell or mess is cheaper...

From what I hear most engines run diesel just fine not rough at all but it's the long term use and how it will effect relaiblty that is the concern.

RE: Diesel
For me, there's a major difference between a piston driven John Deer burning Diesel versus turbine burning Diesel.
However, sense of smell is highly subjective, and personally I think Jet A is [:'(] of all.

There's no reliability nor long term effect to be concern about with KingTech turbines running on Diesel. Today's Ultra Low Sulpher pump Diesel we have around the corner is a fantastic alternative fuel for our engines other than Kerosene, in fact, Diesel mixed with 3 to 5% oil is all we use.

RE: Diesel
I don't remember what Europe's standards are, but diesel is NOT "dirtier" than Kero here in the US. It is, in fact, cleaner.

RE: Diesel
Personally, I grew up on a farm and the last thing I want my jets to smell like is a John Deere! Lol
There is a big difference between the diesel of several years ago and the low sulfur diesel at the pumps today (at least here in the US)
