Please excuse my ignorance, but I've been reading a lot of hoopla over 2
stroke diesel aircraft engines. Has anybody tried one of these in a Cozy
or Long Ezy? It sounds to me like that may make for a very fuel efficient
aircraft with good performance. Any reason why it can't be done?


No, so long as the power is there to take off before the end of the runway.


If the aircraft is home built, could it burn standard diesel even though
it hasn't been approved by the FAA? Is there a good reason not to use
standard diesel other than fuel congealing at cold temperatures?

US diesel is full of crud (someone else can tell you exactly what). If you
could filter it, it may be okay, but for me, I would just as soon go with
Jet A for the price.
