IF I ever get a plane, all these silly fuel issues would be a real
irritant. I haven't been paying much attention to the new diesel
aircraft engines becoming available. Since I should be making my
own 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.


I already am, but there an STC for diesels in 172s.


Diesels and diesels running Freedom Fry grease are going to require two very
different STCs. Robert posted a link to a outfit with a Biodiesel STC but I
couldn't get the link to work.
