Diesel is still cheaper than jet fuel. Or isn't it?

Jet A1 is a little bit cheaper, but it need oil addition (2 strokes oil
is good but normal oil would be ok) for high pressure pump.


Have you heard of anyone cutting Jet A like your describing? I would
expect those engines are quite sensative. I'd be really nervous about
fuel/oil ratios doing that!

0.5% to 1% works fine on the F-PTDI with an old Isuzu diesel.

oil may burn like jetA1, if you are afraid about the hight pressure pump,
you may add 2-3% of oil.


No radiator hanging in the breeze

You are too optimistic.... just a little omount of heat is needed to acheive
20-30° tank temperature.
