It also raises the octane rating of unleaded gas about 5 points by increasing the specific gravity and slowing down the burn rate a little. Before an idiot assistant principal trashed all my dyno run files, I had lots of documentation on the diesel trick.

Interesting, I do have a source for and use no-ethanol gas, the octane is fine for the 51 216, however the 70 Duster with original spec 10.5 ratio 340 is less happy with it. Having diesel tractors and a Cummins Dodge that's an easy fuel fix for the Duster. What about smoke, any noticeable issues?
