Charlie; Being a farmer with a private air strip, there could be some
interest there, I did throw out the fuel oil furnace though, had to get that
stinking thing out of the basement. Talk about robbery, my brother in-law
paid $2.70 for furnace oil in November. JohnD

But....
If you live on a private strip or know a farmer (or someone who does a
lot of dirt work), off-road diesel is a *lot* cheaper.
Hence my high level of interest in heavy fueled rotaries.
