To save your next injection pump, periodically check the fuel pressure at the schrader fitting entering the injection pump. I can't recall the threshold from memory, but I think it is less than 5 psi.

I'm starting to run homebrew biodiesel in my diesel rides. The Dodge hasn't had problems at 10% mix. I actually ran 100% bio for about 50 miles, because I didn't have enough time to get to a fueling station.

An upcoming project is a fuel pressure and tranny temp combo gauge from Westach. This should eliminate any danger to the VP44.
