Best thing is to start with commercial fuel... Diesels are hard enought to get running right with that. The only reason I can run my Baker Black Brew is because I'm super sensative to everything from alot of hard knocks expirence.

I can hand start my OS .40 on BBB but it is very trickey to do but I do it because I know just what to do. It is always just on the edge of hydrostatic lock while warming up - very easy to damage the engine.
