diesel requires a completely different sort of engine
Didn't a german company develop a diesel engine conversion for a PA28, based on some common car engine (BMW?) which ran on Jet-A1? Looked quite impressive from what I remember reading about it. Seem to remember that the hourly fuel running costs were in the region of 6GBP/hr.

Cheers
