Guy,
If it's a distillate engine, it has an even lower compression ratio than the gas version, so it should create less of an explosion -- less heat -- than a comparable gas engine assuming both use the same pump gas. Also, if I remember correctly from chemistry classes and flight school -- the heat ducting shields help prevent the heavier kerosene molecule (with 10 to 12 carbon atoms) from falling out of suspension; as it's heavier than the octane gas molecule with 8 carbon atoms. It was all academic in chemistry, but in flight school the benefits carb heat and the inverse of augering in, or "bought the farm" were heavily emphasized. You know.. the old pilots and the bold pilots, but rarely do you find an old, bold pilot.
