I think I see you point,But, I'm really concerned about the lack of
lubricity wrecking the injectors.How about using the injectors to
"gate" an adapter that lets the "biofuel" into the cylinder?

With a bit of design ingenuity this could allow the diesel to be switched
between fuel types when required?

This would be an interesting DIY effort,wouldn't it?   :-) At least until
one could come up with an EFI design.

Hopefully either eventually.

When it comes to rivalry between the labs,we all get a bit immature. :-)

The last visit I had at ANL, I was wearing my
18 year-old Benrus analog watch with the Radium dials, set off an alarm that
scared the Billy-BD out of me, and the security guards.  :-)
