Any progress on this? There are relatively few mep018 projects posted here, aside from mine, so it's good to see another pop up from time to time...

Diesel fuel has higher BTU (heating) value, so it will inherently give better fuel efficiency/gallon. Diesel engines don't like light loads, so they have their own problems, as has been posted before....
