Jelloman4571647545499 Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 I have a big torpedo that can run 4 types of fuel. It crosses over from diesel to kerosene to AV gas. So I would say yes you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRocket1647545505 Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 You can, but it does NOT burn cleaner. You'll get waaaaay more fumes from running diesel. As Clark said, Kerosine, Diesel, and AV gas are all fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copperhead Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 I used diesel in mine all last winter. I would suggest calling the manufacturer or something first to be sure though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diesel has a lower flash point I know, but you'll get more fumes from what I remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
