Nigel:
How much have you looked into your diesel engine installation? I have a
potential ferry flight to do in a DA42, which, as you know, uses Thielert
diesels. They send a considerable fraction of the fuel coming out of the
high pressure injection pump back to the tanks via a fuel cooler.
Nevertheless, the fuel gets pretty hot. The fuel temperature redline is at
75C! If your system is anything like that, it's going to make for some
interesting installation challenges.
I certainly see the imperative to switch to diesel, though, with jet A about
1/4 the price of avgas. I wonder if that's the way we're headed in North
America?
