One more check on the Fantail is the fuel burn rate.  The is NO diesel 
engine that will produce 28 hp for 24 hours on less that about 45 gallons of 
fuel.  Not the 25 gallons quoted.

Normal burn rate is 15 hp for one hour from one gallon of fuel.

NOTE - A gasoline engine requires about another 15 to 30% depending on the 
actual peak pressure of operation, i.e. how open the throttle is.

Merry Christmas to all
