Good info, if I have the patients to do it I might try to make a batch or 2. I am just scared I am going to cost myself more money by residual damage caused by ignorance.

Inevitably the heavier fractions of fuel will not vaporize during post-injection and in liquid form can adhere to the cylinder walls.

thats a good question, this is the best answer i could find from that article
