The FDC decreases fuel based on increasing viscosity as energy content per volume increases with viscosity. A gallon of gasoline has fewer BTU than diesel.

The AMBAC injection pump is a volume injection device, diesel has more energy per injection stroke than gasoline.

You can still run gasoline, it will only produce less power.
That's why I said to "detune" the pump. The highest common denominator is gasoline, meaning it has the "lowest" BTU's available out of the four fuels. The FDC will "detune" the pump to the gasoline level of energy.
