I don't think the Malaysian Rainforest Challenge is quite as difficult as
the camel trophy (now sadly discontinued on the grounds of political
correctness).

If I had to take a vehicle into the (wet) rainforest, I'd go for a diesel
for sure - much more reliable and works when wet.

Re: Book Review: Engine Swapping Tips and Techniques , R.M. Clarke
 

Because Bill can't read more than a few lines between scrotal licks:

REFERENCE: Pratt and Whitney of Canada Service Bulletin No. 1252.
COMPLIANCE TIME: At the next regularly scheduled inspection interval,
not to exceed the next
300 hours of operation.
PURPOSE: To provide instructions for conversion of early Model
PT6/S-2R aircraft from the PT6A-
34 engine to the PT6A-34AG engine with diesel fuel approval.



The -34AG differs from the straight 34 because it has a heated fuel
line to the fuel controller. It is approved for use with #2 Diesel
whereas the standard 34 is not. Ditto the other -xxAG variants.

This would never be needed in most of the environments agplanes fly
because they don't spray when it's freezing. Byut the FAA demanded
this. A lot of operators probably just ignore this, but to be legal
this STC puts you in compliance.

In short, airplanes in the United States fly on diesel fuel. Written
proof.
(I'd quote the TCDS for the engine, however, it specifies "conforming
to P&W Specification such and such" where one is for JP5, one for
JP-4, and one for commercial diesel fuels. Peckerwood would tell you I
was making it up.

Well you'd be wrong on that too Bill, there are FAA certified diesel engines
being installed in FAA certified and flying aircraft that have type
certificates.
