Using ship fuel as aviation fuel?

Hi NG,

The high compression ratios for diesel piston engines cause
detonation using
wide cut jet fuel.

Diesel engines cannot "detonate". The term "detonation" applies to
preignition of part of the charge before ignition or before the
flamefront has reached that portion of the charge.

Detonation refers to more energy being imparted to the fuel air mixture by
compression heating than can be absorbed without igniting the fuel.
Detonation damages rod bearings and is a serious problem over the long term
in reciprocating engines.
