Greg,

Thanks to Graham for alerting me to your response and thanks to you for the information. Again, for some reason, RCU isn't informing me of new posts from time to time. Your reply has saved me a lot of work, I now recall some of what you've told us. In the end, nothing wrong with kerosene but truck fuel may have some advantages as in easier starting and consistency of cetane rating. Going to go out and get some now.

I'm going to sacrifice the .15 to this experiment. If truck fuel has better lubricity, maybe we can get away with 10% castor. Along with the better lubricity of diesel fuel and the inherent superiority of castor, this may work. More combustibles, lower compression, more power and better mileage. After all, the car guys are running 10% oil. [X(] Fun to try.
