Today we test are TRI-60 Jet Engine running on 100% BioDiesel Fuel and it ran Great, A little harder to get started, But once lit, it spun up just like Jet-A does. At Idle it's EGT was down to 925F, And the best thing was it made the shop smell like Well Done French Fries. Not sure if that's a good or bad Smell.

  • 13HP !! That's all? You must know these Microturbo TRI-60-5 jet engines very well? Please tell me why these jet engines needs a 100hp starter motor just to spin it up to 15% and the USAF pays $100,000.00 each for them if they only makes 13hp?

  • 100% biodiesel does not burn. there has to be diesel in it

  • @Rick58790

    Sure biodiesel burns, How does a diesel piston engine run on it wont burn?

  • What kind of thrust does 1300hp give?

  • 1300 hp works out to 1300 pounds of thrust, give or take a little.

  • thats cool, is the propane tank just for getting it going?

  • Yes it is. The propane open/close solenoid is wired to the starter relay and is only open when starter is energized. The starter relay shuts off when P2 pressure reaches 3 PSI.

  • @tinosnit if you gear it like on dragster, than enough to reach 100mph in few seconds and if you gear it even more like on caterpillar, than it will pull a tree from the ground or push a brick wall with little effort...

  • @adriansi1111 that was a really hot start... to much fuel...

  • @usernametaken1932 yep your right. but here in california. its a pollution issue. How? biodiesal puts out some by product that they consider to be harmfull.

  • @646shings and go back to playing with ur mighty machine toy trucks.

  • @Rick58790 yes it does burn. i know several people who use 100% non processed biodiesal.

  • OMG you guys are like all nerds. hahahaha ok bye.

  • @scuferrari 1300 duu, read the title...

  • 13hp
