The Austro engine fitted to Diamond aircraft are approved to run on either pump diesel or jet A1. It IS a Daimler Benz engine. Not like, but IS.
So, though I have no proof, I tend to disagree that modern common rails will self destruct on Avtur. Especially if you stick a bit of lube in your Avtur mix. It's not hard to get a copy of the final composition of diesel and Avtur from caltex. Armed with that info, you can match lube levels with a variety of products.
But alas, without hard data these are but words.
