Fellas,
During some recent research on Ethanol addition to gasoline engine and the severe consequences to fuel injection system components and rubber elastomers I came across a YouTube video mentioning the use of Ethanol to fuel a Diesel engine. It seemed curious to me since diesel is a lubricant for injection pumps and Ethanol certainly isn't a lubricant. I stumbled across this link about Ethanol fumigation into a VW TDI engine. Thought I would share:
