Q. I am having problems locating a source of Cetane diesel fuel additive suitable for model diesel engine fuels. Can anyone point me to a source in Canada? I live in Kelowna, BC. Failing that does anyone have a source of model diesel fuel in Canda?
A. Many years ago, following an article in Aeromodeller, I successfully ran diesel engines on a mixture of kerosene and modified rape seed oil with the addition of one or two percent Isopropyl Nitrate. If you wish, I'll dig out the relevant information. Compression needs to be a bit higher than with conventional fuel containing ether and the exhaust residue is black and gooey. The disadvantage is that starting from cold is harder than with conventional fuel and a prime of such helps. I sometimes resorted to the use of an electric starter with the compression backed off and then gradually increasing until the engine fired. Of course one had to be careful not to overdo the compression increase if this method was adopted. The "plus" side is that it does work, is cheap, and seems to give an increase in power output - there is more kerosene which is the constituent which gives the power.
