I want it

Was reading news today and came across this. 3 cylinder diesel. I'm a fan of 3 cylinder diesels in tractors although this particular one has 2 pistons per cylinder. Anyway, here's a link.

A Tractor Diesel. I am truly impressed with Diesels. However, you will find it very difficult to do a long Cross Country. You will need to carry 3 - 5 Gallon Diesel Cans with you on every trip, and be prepared for some long walks!

Aviation diesels are designed to run on jet fuel.

Looks like a cool idea, but at 200 pounds it would be pretty heavy.

Yep, don't think you would have a difficult time getting Jet A. Would be concerned that their pumps are probably geared for filling larger then 12 gal tanks. Would definitely leave fuel oil on the wing. But none the less, I think it's a very practical idea.

Well I learned something today, I can go to bed now.

Good night, Paul.
