The same is true for diesel engines. Avtur (or Jet A-1) will run in a diesel car but again will wreck it as it does not have the same lubrication qualities. You can add additives etc etc but why? |
Enlightning indeed !
So let me get this straight: If you feed AvGas 80 in your Mini will she sound just like a Sptfire's RR Merlin mill ?
