REFLECTOR: On Diesel and Car Engines

[Joe]

I spent a number of my earlier years working at FBOs in Teterboro as well as
in fueling management at Newark airport.  In Teterboro and Newark we used
Jet A for diesel equipment (Fuel controllers were calibrated for the density
difference between diesel and Jet A.)  Gasoline engines were fueled with
100LL at Teterboro, while at Newark we had pumps for conventional auto gas.
