I didn't tell him I was planning on running discarded Chinese buffet
"grease" through it. g

Heat the grease with exhaust tubing - start and shut down with a small
Jet-A tank. See, I've thought this all through.

On Dutch television they showed a diesel truck that could switch from
regular diesel to chicken fat, garbage from a chicken processing plant. The
truck ran equally well on both types of 'fuel'...

Some buses in Halifax ran on fishing industry waste oils.
For all I know that could be the whole fleet by now.

What I like about diesel in airplanes is the possibility
of low rpm power for sometimes double the range (at lower
speeds). A radial will turn very smoothly at 1000 rpm
and the diesel would be torquing near optimum just audible
around 1400-1600 (?).
