Default Diesel for Diamond DA40?

I stand corrected. Just FYI, I looked this morning and
diesel fuel is 18% heavier. I had also assumed that they had placed
a FADEC setup on the Lyc, thusly greatly improving its effeciency
too. Guess not. Many people don't realize that much of the
effeciency associated with these engines comes from FADEC rather
than diesel in of it self.


FADEC won't make an engine run more efficiently. It will make it
easier to manage.


and thus it will make it run more efficiently than a improperly managed
manually controlled engine.

Friedrich
