That's 113 kg * 1 L/0.835 kg = 135 L of diesel or

135 L * 1 gal/3.785 L = 35.7 gal of diesel.

At current Tulsa retail prices, that's about $81 worth.

Sounds a lot cheaper than deicing fluid.

Jet engines are used as track dryers at race tracks, because they are a
ready made machine to burn a lot of fuel, and make a lot of heat and exhaust
velocity. Both are good for deicing.

I still think it is an idea that should be looked at more closely.

With several mounted on a rig, they could do a whole large jet in a few
minutes, compared to the many minutes now required, with little negative
impact to the ecology.
