Those limitations will include minimum standards for the fuel. As long as
you could show your batch of diodiesel meets those standards, you
should be fine.


Hmm, I always wondered about that. I used to own a 1941 Taylorcraft
(with A-65 engine), and the type certificate simply said "73 octane
minumum". No mention of "aviation gasoline" or whatever... seemed to
me that implied that auto gas should be legal, even without an STC.
