Wonder if they heat the fuel that hot to start it with normal heating less.

Bunker fuel has 155,000 BTUs per gallon compared to about 134,000 for diesel.

Locomotives used to use bunker fuel but smog regulations made them change over. Remember how they smoked a few years ago.

Thanks Bob,
Really good to know. I'll add this to the check list, would have been nice to have gotten a note from FT giving me a head's up.
