No this aircraft is going to be manly flying to from our Ranch in North
Texas. It isn't going to be a cross country plane. I have several
reason to want to go the route of the Diesel one of which is the
ability to get / use tax free off road diesel.
Thanks,
Bill

Is tax free off-road diesel fuel cheaper than regular unleaded?

Tax in Texas on over the road diesel is 44.4 a gallon. However off road
disel is also cheaper than on road diesel even after you subtract the
tax and purchasing in larger quanitites. I haven't priced off road
diesel in quite some time but last time I checked it was around $1.80.
Unleaded at the pumps are at $2.15.

If you were to get a diesel working well in an airplane, you would likely see a
saving not only on fuel price, but the fact that the fuel will last longer in
the air.

Wow.

wouldn't last longer.... underground?

It's OK, Clay. Barnyard has this thing for me. He knew what I meant. He is
just...well, "special." g

You broke your long absence, ... for this?

I'll ask the same thing. What's the catch??? g

It will last longer while at cruise, as opposed to while in ground operations?

Yeah, that's the ticket! g
