Scott,

if everything goes right with the installation of this
engine in our C172N (which starts end of februar)
you will see us at Oshkosh. :-)

Yes, you can use 'car' diesel and/or Jet-A1  the engine is already
certified for both fuels. It is basicially a mercedes auto engine
with a gearbox using the common rail technology. That means,
that most of fuel, which is going through the injection
pump is used for cooling it and is pumped back to the fuel tank
heating them.

OAT of up to -22F should be no problem in flight without any
addetives.

I know of one guy who is inteding to use this machine in his 320.


Weight of the diesel engine including gear etc. is ca. 382lbs.
O320 weight is 374lbs.
