INI Power Systems IG1000-ICMF Info

[Piatheem]

I did a spontaneous purchase of INI Power Systems IG1000-ICMF. I’m a little confused on what fuel it’s supposed to run on. The internet says it can run on anything. The label says JP-8 only. Can I run it on diesel? It did start for me after several tries, but it smokes a lot. Anyone knows what might be the issue?

Most things that run on JP-8 will run just fine on diesel fuel. Diesel isn't quite as clean as JP-8, but that usually isn't an issue for most engines.

If it were mine I would start putting a load on it and see if it runs any better. Diesel engines like to run hot to properly burn the fuel, so put as much load on it as it runs well with, run it a while and see if it cleans up.
