I liked the Experimenter ezine but the article on heavy fuel was a bit
lame.  Yes, you can (with some difficulty) make a spark ignited heavy fuel
engine but so what?  What does it get you?   The efficiency is no better,
and the power is less.  The fuel is more expensive.

The military is interested in this for the purpose of fuel commonality
only.
