Thank you all for the genuinely great responses. As the son of an attorney,
ex-Brewery owner, and FFL holder I have learned to never, I mean never,
interact with the BATF if at all possible. (basically Kelly Johnson's
unspoken rule. If you, you know) Given the fact that we are looking to
additively manufacture a nozzle that will utilize regenerative cooling
among several other factors, again most notably gaining experience with
hydrocarbon fuel, I think we will go with one of the RP-1/Kerosene
supplements that you all mentioned. We are looking to test out at FAR out
by Randsburg for the one person that asked (I wonder if the Burro Schmidt
Tunnel could be used for vacuum testing?). Thank you all again for the
responses, it means a lot to us. On a somewhat tangential note, does anyone
here know how much lead time FAR needs before conducting a test firing out
there?

Interesting that peanut oil was the fuel that inspired Diesel to invent a
new kind of internal combustion engine based on adiabatic heating as an
ignition method.
