Jet-A and #1 Diesel, and K1 Kerosene are virtually Identical. and they all come from the same tank during mass distribution, Jet-A is held to a slightly higer standard with respect to moisture content and pour chaterisitcs, otherwise K1 kerosene is better than Jet-A due to its higer lubricity factor and lower sulphur content. #2 diesel on the other hand has a different flash point range and could cause problems. Distributors often sell off excess Jet-A as K1 or #1 diesel or vis versa, depending on demand situations.

These include a Continental engine List and a Lightning aircraft List: =========== continental-list@matronics.com http://www.matronics.com/Navigator?Continental-List Everything related to the Continental aircraft engine. Sky's the limit on discussions here. =========== =========== lightning-list@matronics.com http://www.matronics.com/Navigator?Lightning-List This is an exciting new design from Arion Aircraft LLC in Shelbyville Tennessee. Pete Krotje has a very nice web site on the aircraft that can be found here: http://www.arionaircraft.com/ =========== Also, if you haven't checked out the new Matronics Aircraft Wiki, swing by and have a look. Remember, a Wiki is only as good as the content that the members put into it. Have a look over some of the sections, and if you've got some interesting or useful, please add it to the Wiki! Its all about YOU! :-) The URL for the Matronics Wiki is: http://wiki.matronics.com Best regards, Matt Dralle Matronics Email List Administrator
