Charlie,
Back before M33 had Jet A (Pre 1980's), I witnessed Pilots having av gas
pumped in the tanks of mostly Lear Jets that stopped in, mixing the fuel.
This I understand could be done up to a maximum ratio of Av Gas to Jet A. I
am curious if the rotary could run on a mixture of Heavy fuel and Av gas or
Mo gas? What would be the maximum ratio that could be burnt without
suffering any derogation?
Just another of those off the wall thoughts
My Dad told me once that you could run a car off of kerosene, IFF you had enough gas to get it started first. It would run rough as the dickins, and smoke the whole neighborhood, but it would move the car.
Never actually had the nerve to try it myself.

This is by far the hardest lesson about freedom. It goes against
instinct, and morality, to just sit back and watch people make
mistakes. We want to help them, which means control them and their
decisions, but in doing so we actually hurt them (and ourselves)."
