IF I ever get a plane, all these silly fuel issues would be a real

biodiesel by the end of this Summer (for something less than 45 cents
a gallon), are any of the new diesels in the O-200/Rotax 912 class?

You'll never get an STC to put it in a certified aircraft. Better start
thinking experimental.

Actually there is a company with an STC for biodiesel. They have a
C-172 at Sacramento City College that if fully STC'd on biodiesel
rigtht now. If you really want give these guys a call
