aviation diesel engine has only one issue, fuel; automotive diesel fuel freezes in high altitudes and kerosine has shitty lubrication properties as it is not ment for fuel injected piston engines and lacks required additives. it causes huge wear to the fuel injection pump. and having fuel injection pump failing mid flight is NOT a good thing.
question; are you allowed to add anything to kerosine and still use it in flying things? mainly because if you mix lubricating additive('s) to kerosine it would be suitable for diesel engines. thats how polar expeditions run their land vehicles.
