heating oil is just red no 2 diesel fuel. yes you can, but it will just be closer to diesel fuel. years ago guys would put a little kerosene in fuel tank to combat gelling in trucks.

I think 25% is safe. I’ve done 4 gallons diesel/1 gallon gas many times. I know some people that do 3/2.

that seems like quite a bit? im curious what 68 does as well. maybe he dont want to post it on a public forum? i figure there is an un written disclaimer to any thing on the net. use at your own risk deal.

Many of us owe you a gratitude of thanks for stepping up and challenging technology by pushing the limits for everyone's benefit.

Looking forward to reading your newest book, Automotive Painting in Alaska Climate

I worked six years for a BS in Alaska. Each room had in floor heat which held a lot of heat in the concrete. Worked great

You can also tune them to burn much more efficiently. Some of them are pretty far off from the factory. Imagine that.

What tunes them? Do they have something to adjust fuel, rich - lean? I haven't been into the one I have in years, I thought they had a nozzle like an oil burner. Don't remember.

The pump on the rear is adjustable. Some have a pressure gauge built in some you can hook one up. You can essentially lean or richen it by adjusting the psi.
