Webinar
Diesel Versus UL
Wednesday, December 2, 2026, 7 p.m. CST
Presenter: Mike Busch
Diesel engines burning Jet-A promise a clean escape from the unleaded-avgas mess — no lead, better fuel efficiency, and a fuel that's already on the ramp. So why hasn't the piston fleet switched? Mike Busch surveys the current diesel contenders (Continental's CD-series, Austro's AE300/330, DeltaHawk's DHK180, and Piper's new Seminole DX) and weighs their real trade-offs: useful-load penalties, six-figure conversion costs, limited STC coverage, and different maintenance demands. With the FAA signaling the 2030 unleaded deadline may slip, he makes the case for whom diesel makes sense for today — and why it's still a niche solution for most owners.
