Thanks for pulling up this post. lots of great information.
As they say, why re-invent the wheel?
Andy, have you made any new discoveries on fuel mixes?
The above mentions that "max" compression is required for the initial starts. Is this going to damage the engine?

Has anyone tried a dual fuel set up using a Y connector and two needle valves. The first needle would be to the fuel with the ether for starting, and the second needle would then be used to introduce the no ether fuel as the diesel warmed up. The ether would be leaned out, and the NO ether richened , so to speak. Of course this procedure, if it works, would have to be repeated each time at start up.
