There are really three of issues (that I can recall) he 1) A diesel will run on any hydrocarbon fuel that it can pump and meter. 2) Different seals and hoses are compatible with different chemicals--although it would be no surprise to find that all were compatible with biodiesel. 3) Certified aircraft/engines require fuels authorized in the type certificate and/or an STC. 4) Biodiesel supposedly thickens at temperatures that pilots fly in. Though it can be corrected with additives, I would rather have heated wings (thus tanks) to avoid additives and gain de-icing capability for the same feature. Has this been done before, or do de-icers only heat the leading edges of the surface? -- PM instructions: do a C4esar Ciph3r on my address; retain punctuation. |
