diesel as well...


What sort of engine would that be?


Donno. I'm not an engine man, though I see from your other postings in
this thread you probably are. I'd gained an impression in the past
that a diesel (35sec) would run on 28sec with little if any
adjustment. Though I guess "run" might need to be clarified... B-)

28sec heating oil is pretty much the same as parafin and jet A1. So a
little more volatile than 35sec diesel, gas oil etc. If you inject not
as much and a bit later than you would 35sec would it not do the job?
