BUT what really got my attention was what I seen below the article !
That being a DIESEL Turbo Prop Cessna
If any of you know anything about DIESEL, when its really really COLD outside, DIESEL has that tendency to JEL,, thickin up.
Doesn't matter if its #2 or #1 Diesel, even with Staryon' added to it which is about the best Anti-Diesel Gel ya can buy, but its expensive and seldom found over the counter at Truck Stops.
I Drive 18 wheelers all over the country for 23 years, thru the mountains out west mainly, and up North including Canada,, I can tell ta at higher Altitudes where the Air is thinner and Colder,, DIESEL becomes a problem, quick and in a hurry !
I've seen a lotta Rigs sittin along the shoulder in the winter and seen a lot that wouldn't Start after sitting for long periods, even tho they have fuel heaters and were plugged in.
I can imagine being up high in Altitude, where its a tad bit colder and then you hear - Sputter - Sputter,, Ker-punk - sputter,, Guarantee ya, you ain't goin to find a Truck Stop in the Air !!
Now what ya gonna do
Diesel in Aircraft - Badd Mistake !!!

Well it does not seem to upset the Diamond and their Twinstar, a diesel powered general aviation aircraft that holds the record for flying none stop from from America to Europe on one tank of fuel. There is one that flies on a regular basis out of the airport I work at. On take-off, it sounds like a 50cc moped that has had the exhaust removed....

Not a turbo prop, a turbo diesel-- like your truck has. A turbo prop is a turbine engine that drives a propeller. I sure hope they've fixed the cold-temperature issues with diesel... maybe they've adapted it to run on Jet-A? The article is much too short, doesn't tell you much other than it's a turbo diesel engine.

You are talking about one of the loves of my life...>>> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamaha_FS1 .....
...and I've still got it!....
Paul....
..and, of course, we've still got buzzing 2-stroke engines in Microlights/Ultralights/Flexwings, etc!...

The usual argument for me...
To avoid confusion....
Turbo-prop: An aircraft fitted with a reciprocating piston engine coupled to the propeller, with its power boosted by the fitting of an exhaust driven turbine to boost the air pressure to the inlet manifolds, turbo-charged, (similar to a motor vehicle).
Beech Baron 58TC as an example.
Turbine Prop: An aircraft fitted with a rotary turbine engine (Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6, etc) coupled to the propeller.
Beechcraft King Air 350 as an example.
Paul....I love engines!...(and occasionally being pedantic!)...
......... Unless you want to go to Canada and France, slap them about the head with a large wet fish and tell them they have been teaching their aircraft and engine courses incorrectly............Apart from which, ATR 42/72 turbineprop or Dash8 Q400 turbineprop sounds God awful on the tongue..
