Jeffco 9700 is good for kerosene and today's auto fuels.

I was wondering how the Epoxy Resin Fuel Strakes handle the Kerosene (Jet A) vs 100LL. Any additional prep needed for the Strakes to run Jet A vs 100LL?

Doug, I agree that the engine is impressive, and I wish them the best of luck. With propellor and airfoil efficiency, I still doubt that the 180HP would get you off the ground safely at 9000' DA and a full load at my airport. I think that the benefits that you mention are worth looking into but they do not fit every application. There are only about 5 airports in the state that carry Jet-A, You can't be airborne at 5500' in most of the places I fly, and there are more V-6 engines flying in Velocities than the DH. Like I said, I wish them the best of luck and am impressed. It just doesn't fit my needs. Kurt Winker.
