Sounds reasonable.

Interestingly, the White Gas discussion earlier brings up a point.
The U.S. Army uses the term "mogas" to refer to a fuel that is similar
to Coleman fuel, or what used to be sold as TVO-Tractor Volatising
Oil-in the UK and white gas in the US. It is a fuel in between
gasoline and diesel fuel and has poor octane and poor cetane. It can
be burned in white-gas or kerosene burning spark ignition tractors,
gas turbines (when trimmed for), and in the military multifuel piston
vehicle engines which is why they buy it. Either it's cheaper than
either #2D or car gas, or no one pilfers it.

I thought that NATO was supposed to be moving towards JP-8 as their
"universal" fuel, used for everything from portable stoves to
cruisers. They even had Kawasaki make a diesel/JP-8 burning dirt bike
for them.
