seedy Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 While working in the Arctic islands during the 70's, Twin Otters ran on stove oil with zero problems. Just paint the top of the wing behind the engines flat black to mask the stains. Northward Airlines, Kenn Borek Air which flew all over including Resolute to the North Pole. Jet engines or turbo props - no problem. We even started a DC3 with a long rope and a pickup truck !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the howls of anguish about diesel prices it seems a cheaper way of reusing the stuff. I would be a bit wary of flying in an airliner powered by the stuff. sorry not for me 33000 ft in the air on used chip oil Nope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be considered a high criminal act in the eyes of the ICAO, IATA, IFALPA, and other int'l governing/regulatory bodies. I'm sure there are devious goings on of this nature here and there - taking the chance that the suspected airports/airlines could be heavily fined and shut down indefinitely.
